I have an Echo and two Echo Dots in my house, and I use them all the time. Literally, many times every day. I use them to control my Xbox One, listen to local radio stations, add items to my grocery list, get the weather report, set timers, play whatever song has popped into my head, and about a dozen other uses. These things are great. No exaggeration, they’re probably the most useful pieces of technology I’ve purchased since my first smartphone. And now they’re on sale.
As for the Kindles, now that we have to wash our hands after opening the mail, reading digital books has become a lot more appealing for many people. Both the standard and Paperwhite Kindle models are on sale right now for up to 28% off. They both off you a gateway to nearly instant access to millions and millions of books and magazines. They’re super thin and light, and a single charge will keep them going for weeks on end.
Any of these items would make a great Father’s Day gift. Or, if you’re in the market for them for yourself, that’s cool too. Might as well grab them while they’re on sale.
