Sonos One reading Kindle books

Hi! Any news on this subject?

Jaya, I have not heard anything regarding my comment. Are you having the same problem?

Yes, same problem here. I contacted amazon on that subject today. They told me that -at the moment- Alexa is not able to read Kindle e-books on Sonos One but that this feature will be available after the next update. Could not tell me though when this would be. They say that the more users will ask amazon about that feature, the sooner it will be available. In the meantime they told me to use the "Talk Back" feature in the Kindle app that would read out the books on Android Devices.
Hope this helps!
Jaya

Thanks Jaya. I will reach out to amazon to let them know of my eagerness to have this feature on my Sonos one! Thanks

ahhhhhhh i did not know that sonos one /alexa will not read kindle when i bought it and I think that should have some how been disclosed? Its advertised as the same as alexa? , I am so disappointed. Has is it changed/will it soon?

What will the due date be to implement that sonos reads kindle? I would Love That!:?

Sonos has been saying forever that in their next update the ability to read a Kindle Book would be added. Instead, they added the ability to read an Audible book. Please add Kindle books, too!

So Alexa on Sonos does not have the same skill sets as Alexa on Echo from what I read. Sonos can't read books from Kindle and it can't make phone call or message other Alexa devices. As for controlling other devices like hue lights or thermostats does it also need a eco prime in the house or can sonos on it's own control those? Maybe Alexa on Sonos is not the grown up version of Alexa...Maybe she should be called Lexy (as in Baby Alexa) or Maybe just Alex ( the male version that doesn't listen as well...LOL) How well will they integrate Google home ??????? Maybe it will be Google Apartment instead....LOL

Thank you for sharing this. Do you happen to remember where you read this? I misplaced my first generation Echo when I moved. I didn't have the heart to buy another Echo, but my friend got me an Alexa enabled Fire tablet. I successfully connected Alexa to my current system. She plays music on my Sonos speakers when I ask properly. However, the audiobooks and Kindle books play through my device speakers instead of the Sonos.

I'm glad Alexa will read to me on my tablet, but I hope she'll play my books through my speakers soon. I'm excited there's any Alexa/Sonos integration at all. Thank you devs!

Whaaaat. I've spent hours trying to get her to read my Kindle books and now found she just can't. One of the main reason I bought four Alexa enabled Sonos Ones was for each bedroom to allow Kindle playback. Madder than a cut snake. When will this be working?
