I don't understand why people keep talking about this...Alexa already does TTS and Audible. Seamlessly. Why would I need to *connect* my Kindle to Alexa? What would it give me that I don't already have? The ability for me to tell Alexa to turn the page for me? I'm not sure I want to have to yell "Alexa, turn the page" every time I get to the bottom of a page.
