Hello, I use the Echo to read my kindle books. Yes to read them on the phone offers the flexibility over speed of delivery and voice. It can be a lot of faffing about. The Echo just responds and reads the book requested. Overall, it’s a lot more hands free. Although, these advantages are not apparent when using the Roger app.
