That would be of benefit to those with mobility and fine motor control problems. It would also be a gateway to allowing control of the Kindle using other trigger devices, such as a foot pedal to turn pages.
You mean like enabling "paperwhite" as an Alexa skill? Then you would have to be near (i.e. on same wifi network) your alexa device to get it to work.

Maybe I am mis-remembering but what devices actually have alexa onboard with no speaker?
