Absolutely, I have been enjoying Sonos and the music services offered since I bought my first Sonos players in the fall of 2009 which was right after I bought my first iOS device, an iPod Touch 3rd Generation. That is now 8 years ago and I initially bought what is now called the Connect and Connect Amp and which then was called the ZP90 and ZP120 (ZP stood for "ZonePlayer). I also ordered their touch screen remote at the time thinking I could use some of the functions, but that was hopeless and I returned it because even then they already offered their great return/satisfaction guarantee. When they came out with the first portable player which then was called the S5 and which now is the Play 5 I bought one of them and I later on added more Connect and Connect Amp units. Nowadays I would of course have just bought a couple of Play 1 or Play 3 instead, but those were not an option then. At some point Sonos also had a set of bookshelf speakers and they also released an iPhone dock with a 30-Pin connector (that was pre-Lightning connector) and it acted as it's own Sonos device. That was the only Sonos purchase I regret, I still have this kicking around somewhere and fortunately it was relatively inexpensive as far as Sonos gear goes, I think it was $120 or $150 canadian at the time. I should probably check eBay and see if people are selling these things and if there are still people who The nice thing is that even my players from 8 years ago still get all updates and they are all working flawlessly. I previously mentioned that the new Sonos 1 had native Airplay 2 support, apparently that is not yet true, but from what I read Sonos will enable this via a software update in 2018. And, lastly, I still don't see Amazon Music as an option. Of course Canada didn't even have Spotify and so on for the longest time, it's probably only been about 4 or 5 years that it is available, but since I can download the Amazon Music app on my iPhone from the canadian app store and now that Amazon Prime is available here and includes Amazon Music and Prime Video I don't see why it wouldn't be available in the Sonos app. Just tried to call Sonos, but after almost half an hour on hold I just entered my number so I assume at some point today I get a call back.

It has no navigation in Kindle books though. The only navigation it has in Audible is by chapter so I don't think it's that useful. And, you cannot change the speed of the books which some people want to do. But if you don't mind just reading straight through the book, it works OK with Audible and with some Kindle books. I think there are much better ways to do Audible. On 11/20/17, Lois Butterfield <lbutterfield...@gmail.com> wrote: > I would say that she is using her Echo as a speaker for her phone.
