Users don't even need to lift a finger when they are done playing on Amazon Echo and want to relax with a book. They must simply say "Alexa, read [Kindle book title]," and the voice assistant will start narrating almost anything you purchased from the Kindle Store, borrowed from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library/Kindle Unlimited or got access to through Family Library, Engadget reports.

Based on the commands Amazon listed, users can tell Alexa to pause, resume from where they stopped and skip chapters. But people can't specify which chapter to skip to.

That said, you obviously can't expect the narration's quality to be on par with a professional voice actor's reading for Audible.

Ask Alexa to read a Wikipedia or a news article for you: it uses the same text-to-speech technology for all these tasks. If you don't mind the voice assistant's robotic sounds, though, you're golden, especially since the feature's available at no charge.
