In addition to serving as your connection to Amazon's vast inventory of products, Amazon Echo can now also read your Kindle books to you.<br />And unlike Amazon's service Audible, which provides audiobooks for a monthly fee, the book reading service from Amazon Echo is free of charge.<br />Called Kindle Books by Alexa, the service allows the robotic voice of Alexa to read any book in your Kindle ebook library.<br />According to an Amazon update note, the service uses the "same text-to-speech technology used for Wikipedia articles."<br />That means you won't get the same kind of color and drama you'd expect from a book on Audible, but as a free service, it's likely to be pretty popular with some non-Audible users.
