Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Generation) Review

Not compatible with Netflix Display might be too small for larger spaces

I love Amazon's Echo Show 5 — it's my favourite of the Echo displays. There are a couple of reasons for that. The first is that its cute and compact form factor allows it to blend into a home without being overbearing, and the second is that it offers...
