This is a strange question but I need to know if the Echo Dot will help my mother-in-law. Can you ask it to find the page you were reading? Can you get it to help figure out what is going on with your Kindle? I think it would be nice for her to keep her calendar because she never remembers her flights and asks me constantly, "When are we going to Kauai again?" If she could ask the Echo Dot, that would be great. I give her an itinerary, and she doesn't write it down anywhere. If I could tell Alexa her itinerary, she could ask Alexa and not feel silly for asking me.
She is so bad at her Kindle Paperwhite, she even forgets the name of the book she is reading and cannot get back to it, once she navigates away. It's a nightmare to get back to that spot. And she starts books and reads awhile and then loses where she was and starts a new book. A lot of books are partly read.
She cannot buy anything from her Kindle, so I buy her books. She reads about two books per week, about 8 during a two-week vacation with us. She knows what she wants to read because she goes to the bookstore and sees the new books by her favorite authors and writes them down to buy, then she calls me, I log into her Amazon Prime account and order her books.
Today, she had a screen telling her that if she resets her device, all of her information would be lost, but she cannot figure out how to back out of that page. She asked me to help, but I don't have a Paperwhite. I have a Fire. So she told me to buy her a Kindle Fire because she cannot use the Paperwhite any longer because it's too confusing and difficult to use.
I would go and help her, but we are not able to hop in the car and drive to/from her house 40 miles round trip, at the drop of a hat.
I ordered her a Kindle Fire 7" tablet for $49.99 and a cover, so now she can have the Fire she has always wanted. It supposedly has some Alexa capability. I am anxious to see what it will do for her. Is anyone familiar with this Kindle, and is it going to be the same as the Echo Dot?
We leave for San Antonio on Saturday, and the Fire will arrive on Sunday (odd for a package to arrive on Sunday).
