[nfb-talk] Inquiring about the Amazon Echo

[kaye zimpher]

Being a Prime member is not necessary, but it does help. They will not be 
able to access some of the music and shopping services, but they will be 
able to use the skills, they can listen to Tune-in and they can link Pandora 
and other services if they would like.
Hope this helps.
