Kindle Ask This Book AI-Powered Feature Launches in iOS App

Amazon's AI feature provides spoiler-free answers for thousands of best-selling Kindle books, enhancing comprehension and reading flow for US iOS users.

  • Recently, Amazon launched Ask This Book on the Kindle iOS app for US users, covering thousands of English-language best-selling Kindle books and delivering "instant, contextual, and spoiler-free" responses.
  • Amazon designed the feature to improve reading flow and comprehension for readers who stop mid-book or return after a break, following its broader generative-AI initiatives shortly after an AI translation service for KDP authors.
  • From the in-book menu or by highlighting text, users tap AI-generated suggestions or type questions in a text box; Amazon spokesperson Ale Iraheta said answers are non-shareable and only for purchasers or renters.
  • Amazon told Publishers Lunch the feature is always on and authors and publishers cannot opt titles out, raising concerns amid ongoing AI-related lawsuits and copyright debates.
  • Amazon says it will roll out to Kindle e-reader devices and the Android Kindle app next year, but support is currently limited to English-language books and US availability.
