I tapped the home icon, then I opened the Kindle app (I like to read along with Alexa as she often gets pronunciation wrong). Kindle opened to page one then asked if I wanted to got to the farthest page (end of the book) and I tapped "no". Everything normal so far.

Then I asked my echo to read the book, and my phone opened the Alexa app and answered!

Raised my eyebrows! I had to close the Alexa app again to get it to stop, then "Alexa; Read Cold Days" and this time the Echo answered.

Evidently the app didn't completely close the first time, effectively turning my phone into an Echo device. Again, I don't want my phone to be and Echo!
