Sonos One reading Kindle books

I have recently purchased Sonos One with Alexa. However when I ask Alexa to read a kindle book she will give a summary of the book and then say sorry something has gone wrong.

      Hello, as I just learn that the Sonos One cannot read Kindle books, I am very shocked and disappointed.
      Also as this thread is more than a year old and there has been no update or progress.
      Sonos, can you get real with the community and dont you think is about time to give an update on this.
      This product is quite pricey and it does not even cover what the echo dot can?
      When can we expect to have this functionality?

      Sonos very rarely comments on current projects or timelines, especially those involving developing with third parties. Sorry, but you are probably not getting an answer.

      So then they should not be surprised when people stop buying it - I will not buy any further Sonos One, its pointless and totally overpriced for its value as long as it does not do what should be obvious.
      @jgatie Thanks for the reply, anyway.

      Looking forward to having Kindle E-books played by Sonos One soon, so that I would add more Sonos' in my house.

      Still seams to be a problem. This also is a problem with sonos beam. Feeling🤕 by the sonos support team... Mostly because when you go onto the Alexa app... they are promoting this feature and it doesnt work. Does the term false advertising come to mind?

      I would also REALLY like to be able to read Kindle books with a Sonos One. Currently I have to plug a Dot into a Sonos 5, change to Line In, then talk directly to the attached Dot. It would be very nice to just be able to ask a Sonos to read the book.

      I would really appreciate this feature!

      Thank you, Kathy
