I'd like one without the power cord and I need another so I can have one up and downstairs. I was trying to play Prime music on my tablet on a different level of my house and I kept wanting to speak to it. Making the request to Alexis feels much more natural, where on my tablet, I had to hunt and search for what I wanted.

Amazon has a winner with this. I'm finding it far more natural to use then Siri, which I forget to use half the time.
Yes; definitely add text-to-speech for Kindle books.

If offered, I'd buy a second one for $99 (bedroom and living room).
