Title: No Kindle Book Reading on UK Version Grrrrr...
Post by: stageshoot on September 28, 2016, 01:16:56 pm

Ok UK Echo arrived today,

Nice and easy to setup but am most POd that the Kidle reading facility has been removed from the UK Version

Amazon Customer Services said it was down to UK Law being different and different rules applying.

Was one of the main reasons for buying, so may be a short affair before lofting back to Amazon unless there is a workaround!

Perhaps a strongly-worded letter to your MP is in order?

Ha!  Just kidding.

Wait. What? So we're never going to get this feature?
This is another disappointing outcome.

Kindle Book Reading works on my UK localised Amazon Echo. Must have been a launch issue?

In the 'Music & Books' section in the Echo interface, what shows up in the 'Books' section for you?  I've only got 'Audible' and the Kindle reading doesn't work for me.
