Out of the box, the Amazon Echo isn’t a particularly astonishing device. It’s about the size of two Campbell’s Chunky soup cans stacked atop each other. The Echo comes with a power plug and…that’s about it. Originally, the device also included a remote control with a microphone, but recent Echo shipments have lacked the accessory. Don’t sweat the loss — the Echo can hear you great even if you’re in the next room over, as long as you raise your voice.
