Kindle app now answers questions about the book you’re reading

Amazon’s AI-Powered ‘Ask this Book’ Feature Revolutionizes Reading Experience

Meanwhile, Amazon has launched a new AI feature in the Kindle app that gives spoiler-free answers to questions about the book you’re reading.

The tool avoids spoilers by drawing answers from the pages you’ve read so far, making it an expert reading assistant.

Accessible from the book menu or by highlighting a passage of text, the feature is available now for thousands of English-language books in the US on iOS.

How ‘Ask this Book’ Works

Consequently, asking a question takes you into a dedicated chatbot interface where you can get answers to plot details, character relationships, and thematic elements.

The answers are non-shareable and non-copyable, and only available to readers who’ve purchased or rented books.

Amazon spokesperson Ale Iraheta confirmed that the feature is always on, with no option for authors or publishers to opt titles out.

Availability and Future Plans

Furthermore, the option is available now for thousands of English-language books in the US on iOS, with plans to roll out to Kindle devices and the Android app next year.

Amazon didn’t give a timeline for an expansion beyond the US or to additional languages, but the feature joins Kindle’s AI-powered Recaps feature for book series.

However, it arrives only days after Amazon was forced to pull error-filled AI recaps from Prime Video.
