Well, time does fly, and I stand corrected once again. I do like that I can listen to my Kindle books that way. I'm keeping my Windows computer because of the Codex program to convert books for VDR. Maybe I won't need to do that so much now.

Thanks everybody,
Lois

I think the Pocast I listened to where they demonstrated that was at least 6 or 8 month ago, I think very early this year.

Wow, this must be new. I tried it a while back and was told by Echo that she was unable to play Kindle books. Amazing. Thanks for the info.

Take care,
Lois

Actually Echo can play many Kindle books but not all. It has no navigation in Kindle books though. The only navigation it has in Audible is by chapter so I don't think it's that useful. And, you cannot change the speed of the books which some people want to do. But if you don't mind just reading straight through the book, it works OK with Audible and with some Kindle books. I think there are much better ways to do Audible.

I would say that she is using her Echo as a speaker for her phone.  If
you do that, you can play any app your phone can play.  That is my
guess anyway.

Tha is interesting, because a friend of mine uses her Eco to play
Kindle books, because she goes through the Kindle app.
I don't claim to understand that but hat is what she told me.  I don't
have an Echo so I wouldn't know, just saying.

Hi,

Echo cannot play Kindle books but does fine with Audible, will play
where you left off listening with any other device.

It does work fine with both wired and Bluetooth headsets and speakers.

Take care,
Lois

Hi,



How good is the integration between Audible and the Echo/Alexa? I
assume since Audible is owned by Amazon it should be perfect, but
nothing much is said about using Audible or, for that matter, Kindle
books on an Echo.

Also, for those who have any of the Echo speakers, have you used a
wired and also a bluetooth headset for private listening? I assume it
should work just fine?



Regards,

Sieghard
