How do I get my Echo/Dot to read a e-book or audible book?  I have Prime, are there "free" audible books that come with that like the music?  I can't seem to find it if there is.  Do I simply ask her to read a Prime or purchased on Amazon e-book?

Thanks

Thanks, I feel stupid as I spent all the time looking in my Prime account!

Couple more questions, if I buy an audio book on amazon is it automatically referencable by Echo?  When playing an audio book on Echo, how difficult is it to pause and them start playback again a wekk or 2 later from the same point?

It will pause by saying pause, I am not sure how long it will be held but I was listening to one of my audible on a tablet a time ago and ask Alexa to play that same story and it started where it left off. I am not sure if this is normal but it would make sense because it is in Amazon's Cloud.
