It's last call for Google's Nest users to buy their products on Amazon.*
Amazon reportedly (http://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-wont-sell-nest-products-from-google-2018-3?op=1) reportedly let Google know in a phone call late last year that it wouldn't be listing any of the company's newer Nest smart home products. In response, Nest will stop selling its products through Amazon.
