Thanks for pointing that out: Have coveted my Daughter's echo for ages:

Just bought one in Prime sale for 50% (well 47% actually) off.

An unashamed geek here, but I'm reluctant to have a device in my home that is always listening... it's bad enough having your every move on t'internet tracked with cookies leading to targeted advertising. Alexa/echo just seems like a massive invasion of privacy to me!
