I heard a demo where you can now use the Echo to play your books in your
Audible library!

Subject: RE: Setting up an Amazon echo with an apple extreme router
Mary, on the PC, the web site is usable with FireFox. As you stated, you do
have to do lots of mouse cursor routing and refreshing of the screen, but it
does work and allows you to at least setup your various accounts like
Pnadora and iHeart radio along with some other preferences. I totally agree
with you. Their attention to accessibility in both the web site and
especially the app leaves a lot to be desired.
Best regards,
Rick Alfaro

Subject: Re: Setting up an Amazon echo with an apple extreme router
Well, I hope bunch of Google searching finally turned up a thread on Amazon
help, which indicated that there are many people having this problem. The
easiest solution, which worked for me, was to find a reset button on the
bottom of the device. I never would have found it without some sided help.
But once I knew where it was, I was able to activate it with a paperclip.
And then I got my echo set up. I must say, however, that accessing the echo
app on both the phone and the iPad is quite frustrating. I think someone
said that they thought the iPad app was more accessible.in order to scroll,
you must turn voiceover off, then scroll with one finger, the way sighted
folks do. The checkboxes you used to customize the news briefing do not work
with voiceover. Even on the Mac, setting up the echo is not fun, because it
requires lots of mouse routing and the refresh of the app is not always
evident. Amazon does not deserve good grades for their excess ability of
this experience, whether on and I device or the Mac. Can't speak for the PC,
because my PC is so old that it won't even access the proper site.

Subject: Setting up an Amazon echo with an apple extreme router
I suppose this could be considered off-topic, but I don't know where else
to go. I just got my Amazon echo, and I have the app on my iPhone and the
app on my iPad. I am aware that the app is generally not regarded as being
very accessible. But I thought set up would be. I connected to the echo
Amazon 3FH network using the Wi-Fi on my iPhone and my iPad. After doing
that, I went back to the Echo app, and in both cases, it tells me that the
echo app is off-line and I should check my Wi-Fi connection. The phone
says it is connected to Amazon 3FH, as does the iPad. I then disconnected
from Amazon three FH on my iPad and went to the echo.Amazon.com site,
which unhelpful he told me I needed to download the app in order to start
set up. So, my Wi-Fi works, yet I can't get off first base and I can't
access the actual app on the web it would appeardoes anybody have any
ideas? My PC is old and is not wireless, so that's not going to be useful.
I do have a Mac, but it is far away from the echo. So, I appear to be
stuck. So I'm wondering if maybe get a something to do with the router
which is an Apple extreme. I can't imagine why The router would be a
problem, when I supposedly have this connection. If anybody has any ideas,
I am all ears. At this point, I am frustrated to say the very least.
