If you own ebooks purchased through Amazon’s Kindle service or audiobooks from Audible, you can listen to them through your Echo device. Amazon’s voice assistant can also read to you using the same text-to-speech tricks that allow Alexa to read news, calendar appointments, and other items.
Alexa can read books purchased from the Kindle store, borrowed from the Kindle Lending Library, taken from Kindle Unlimited, or shared with you via the Kindle Family Library. If you subscribe to Audible or purchase any audiobooks, Amazon’s voice assistant can pipe those books through your Echo device as well.
When listening to a book, you can control the reading by telling Alexa when to pause, resume, move forward, go back, or change volume. Let’s check out how to listen to ebooks and audiobooks through your Echo.
