This little Amazon Echo Dot has been amazing for my dad! He struggles with using any sort of technology, but "Alexa" (as she's called) helps him listen to music he loves. All he has to say is "Alexa, play James Taylor," and he is listening to music from one of his favorite artists.
For Christmas, I bought him a three months subscription to www.audible.com. I have loaded books on his Echo Dot account. All he has to say is "Alexa, read me a story," and he is listening to one of his favorite authors.
I can also put reminders and alarms on his Echo Dot app from my home and they will sound at his home. There are SO many ways to use Alexa. I do put little reminders next to the Echo Dot, such as her name, Alexa (my dad sometime forgets). I also have some simple commands for my dad to ask her. He really enjoys using her.
You can buy one here. * I don't get any money for linking the product. Just trying to be friendly. ;)
