Last year's Dot with Clock was a great device, adding a small-but-useful upgrade to the Dot. They feel more sensitive to customer needs.

Amazon recently has widened its lobbying strategy to focus less on killing or neutering legislation it opposed and more on drafting favorable bills and getting them passed in friendly legislatures, a former public-policy employee said.
