Literally same. Every single day - but Alexa reads much better than Siri for books that don't have audios. 💗

omg how can you make siri read books? :O

How do you get Alexa to read books that don't have audios?? I have vision issues and there are a lot of books that I want to listen to but they don't have audiobooks. That would be life-changing!

I figured it out. I had no idea you could do this. So excited

sadly I can't take Alexa to work lol

You do it in the settings under accessibility I think? Like, as if you were blind. So on my iPad - but you can do it on the phone too - when you open the book in either iBooks or the Kindle app there will be a little arrow off to the right, click that and you can just press play. She'll read everything for you. You can change her voice and accent too in the settings.

You can lol. DL the Alexa app to your phone and search 'kindle library' in the app and pull up the book you want her to read then just ask her to speed up or slow down per your preference. I have her on my iPad now reading a mile a min with my beats on. 💗

I downloaded the Alexa app on both my phone and iPad. Once you open it and get past the initial settings - search 'kindle library' she will pull up your kindle books and then just select the one you want. I'm still working out my issues with her but once she starts reading you can pause her and ask her to read slower or fast per your preference. I'm telling you girl, it's really helping me a lot! Sometimes I'm just too exhausted after work and fall asleep with my kindle in my hands 😅 lmk if you need any more help getting it going! 💗💗

omg I love this. so its work even if I have my Alexa at home and I am work but I have the app on my phone? god this is gonna be LIT

Yes girl! So if you share Alexa with others just select your name under the profile and there you go, just sync your ear buds or not and boom good to go! I was using Siri for a while and she does get you out of a pinch, I have to give it to Alexa though for sounding less mechanical throughout. Try both just to see which you prefer. 💗💗

Babes , you are a genuis who who saved my life .
