# Read Kindle Books

With Kindle Books by Alexa, you can ask Alexa to read eligible Kindle books in your library. Alexa reads your Kindle books with the same Text-to-Speech technology used for Wikipedia articles, news articles, and calendar events.

Alexa reads eligible books purchased from the Kindle Store, borrowed from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library or Kindle Unlimited, or shared with you using Family Library.

Ask Alexa...

"Read '[Kindle book title].'"

"Read my Kindle book."

"Pause."

"Resume my book."

"Go forward / back."

With Echo Show you can also say...

"Show me my Kindle books."
