Hello all I’m sorry I got you all excited about accessing BARD on an Echo device. I just realized it was NFB Newsline I never got working on the Echo. I just opened it and told it I wanted to read the New Yorker which is in my favorites. It started reading something at such a rapid rate, it was total gibberish. Alexa would not allow me to change the rate of speech by simply talking to the device. I might have to do that from the screen or the Alexa App.

Bookshare has a skill for Echo devices that I believe is still in beta, and when I tried it a few months ago, was not worth the trouble. BARD certainly is not on Echo yet. If I'm wrong, someone please cite the source for their information. Richard “What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence.

NLS is currently working on making BARD available on these devices but nothing has been announced about when this will happen. I expect it will take some time.

Where can I find info on how to do this? Donna Can someone tell me the best place to get info on how to read BARD Books using an Echo device? It's not intuitive at all. I activated it on my Echo 10 but haven't succeededin getting abook to load up, even if it has been downloaded on my phone.
