Here is how you can get started.
Finding the Right Book on Audible
While on Audible, you are able to search up your favorite book or look through a wide variety of categories to find the perfect book for you. And if that is not enough, you can also connect the Kindle Store to your device.
Alexa can read any book in your Kindle library, including your Kindle Unlimited titles. Simply ask Alexa to read the book you are wanting to initiate text-to-speech narration or Audible narration.
Setting Up a Payment Method for Your Device
To set up payment, open the Alexa app on iOS or Android, then tap the More tab and head to Settings. From here all you need to do is tap on Account Settings > Voice Purchasing, and then turn on Voice Purchasing. Once this is switched on you will be able to ask your device to not only purchase audiobooks, but other items as well.
If you are looking for a bit more security with Voice Purchasing, you are able to enable Purchase Confirmation. To do this head to More > Settings > Account Settings > Purchase Confirmation. Once here, you can limit who can use Voice Purchasing.
For example, Voice Profile will only allow access to selected saved voice profiles on your device. And Voice Code is a password code that will give you access to this feature.
You can also use Alexa on Windows to update these settings.
Using Your Device to Purchase the Audiobook
When the sample is complete, your device will ask you if you want to purchase that audiobook. If you do, say yes and your voice purchasing will take care of the rest.
Once the purchase is complete, your new audiobook will be waiting for you in the library. Paying through your device is a great way to save time, but there are many other Alexa skills that can benefit your daily activities.
Commands to Create a Better Reading Experience
Now that you have your audiobook ready to go, here are a few commands that will help you have a more enjoyable experience.
