Great book. An easy read with useful and complete information that is easy to understand, I would recommend this product.

Correctly setting up your smart TV and pairing it to other devices can sometimes pose a challenge. You would think with the introduction of “One device to rule them all,” like Alexa, things would be simpler. But, oftentimes, that is not the case. That’s why this user guide comes completely handy. It’s well-structured and informative, and will teach you how to get your virtual assistant to do what it’s supposed to do; assist. This manual shows you how to use specific functions of Alexa and to take advantage of all its capabilities. This book will help you simplify the process of understanding how to better use your devices and apps. From playing your favorite music and movies/TV shows, to controlling your living room’s temperature, Alexa’s aim is to make your life simpler. So, understanding how it works should be simple as well. This book does precisely that.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend that is new to Echo devices and he was delighted with the book.

I have an Alexa and a couple Echo dots. I also have a handful of "smart devices" that I haven't been able to hook up properly to my Alexa App. I mostly read through this book looking for advice on how to set up those. The book mentioned an update newsletter option, but the book said it was updated for 2018/2019, so I feel like it should have been okay with mine (Dec 2018)The book indicated I should use my mobile app and go to "Music, Videos & Books" to hook up my FireTV. My iPhone app only has a "Music & Books" option, and I couldn't find a way to do it. Since the book does mention that there was a major update that would remove the Video portion, I at least knew why the instructions weren't working for me, but it was still frustrating. Similarly, my "Skills & Games" section on the main menu or through the "Things to Try" option reroutes to Music for some reason.In general, the book and information was well-written and arranged in a logical manner; however, because of the massive changes and updates overtime, it just didn't work for me.

EXCITING foundation for the history we ARE LIVING NOW!

One of the most popular devices to use today is Alexa. However, sometimes this helpful tool can be a bit confusing to use at first. Thanks to this book though, you’ll be walked step-by-step as to how to properly use Alexa as well as learn some interesting tricks you can try with it. Author CJ Andersen created a huge user manual guide that contains tips and tricks you can use. You’ll learn how to use certain Alexa apps, how to connect to Amazon video, and how to use voice control to activate music verbally.At 115 pages, this book isn’t very long, so it’s perfect for those who don’t want something too time-consuming to read. In addition to this, Andersen writes with a fun style while also giving helpful information so you won’t get lost and confused with technical terms like with some similar books. If you’re interested in learning more about your Alexa device, you’ll definitely want to pick this book up.

I picked it up And love it….it’s a must And it covers all about Your device and beyond For sure

After reading this guide I finally see what all the hype is about and how to get the most use out of Alexa. This step-by-step manual is jammed back with useful information. The author is very honest with his thoughts as well and gives great tips that anyone can use. I liked how the book broke everything down in easy to understand terms whether you’ve had Alexa for a while or just getting her out of the box. It’s like getting the inside scoop on Alexa and Amazon’s brains! I enjoyed learning more about what to expect out of this device and the terms that may be used. Kudos to the author for also adding images to show what he is talking about and how things should look. Some people are visual learners so this really helps. In addition, I think that if you’re new to using Alexa this is a great starting point for you. If you use Alexa already then this is still good to use because it will tell you some tricks you don’t get in the basic manual.

Great information for the beginner or seniors who are not too adventurous on their own.

I have bought the book and the equipment, but I’m reading the book first because it is excellent for anyone who is not yet a friend of Alexa.

O livro é para iniciantes que realmente não tem conhecimento de Alexa. Bem básico.

Very helpful in getting to know "Alexa" for the newcomer!

I just bought the Kindle edition of this book. It covers many features of Alexa but it is out of date when it references Settings feature since it refers to the website version. The problem is that the website no longer exists.
