I dont use it cause i still have 2 hands that work.

a couple of years ago I purchased a bottom of the line Fire (on sale) because I wanted to try out a piece of ham software on it. It seemed that the device was just a platform for advertisements. Did my test and scrapped the thing.

I would get Alexa to swear allegiance to me on a stack of digital Bibles. Next I get her to sign an exclusive contract that should she terminate her agreement or fail to faithfully discharge her duties, her family of mechanical cousins and brothers and sisters, would be thrown into a wood chipper.
