Overview
- The feature answers questions about plot, characters, and themes while restricting responses to material up to the reader’s current page to avoid spoilers.
- It is live on thousands of English-language titles in the U.S. Kindle iOS app and is accessible from the in-book menu or by highlighting a passage.
- Responses are available only to people who purchased or borrowed the book and are labeled non-shareable and non-copyable, according to Amazon.
- Amazon confirmed there is no opt-out for rights holders, saying the feature remains always on to ensure a consistent experience.
- Amazon plans to extend the capability to Kindle e-readers and the Android app next year, as the debut lands during wider legal disputes over AI training and following the company’s recent withdrawal of error-prone AI video recaps.
