Alexa and Kindle Scribe Now Work Together With 'Send to Alexa'
The new "Send to Alexa" feature lets you send Kindle Scribe notebooks to your Echo device with just a couple of taps. Alexa+ has been rolling out to users across the board (well, users with Prime, that is) as its Early Access becomes more widely available. Now, there's a new feature to explore if you're also a Kindle Scribe user: Send to Alexa. This lets you send your Kindle Scribe notes to the AI-powered assistant so you can ask questions about them without having to refer back to your Kindle. It won't automatically do this with all your notes.

Amazon Alexa Is Now Available to Everyone. Here's How to Turn It Off (2026)
Alexa+ has been rolling out to everyone with a Prime membership, even if you didn't ask for it. Here's how to change it back. If Alexa's in your home, you might've been one of many users this month who were suddenly moved from the original Alexa to the new AI-powered Alexa+ voice assistant . Amazon announced in early January during CES that it'd be rolling out the new assistant to all Alexa+ Early Access customers, and that turns out to also include all Prime members, even if you weren't on the Early Access list. Alexa+ is still in Early Access, as it has been since it launched in spring last year, meaning that the assistant isn't fully complete, nor is it requiring you to pay the $20 monthly fee if you don't have Prime.

Amazon Echo Dot Max review: Alexa gets room to stretch
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. I spent two months with the Echo Dot Max after many years with the Echo Dot. Here's who should trade up, and who should stand pat. Built for Alexa+ and packed with smart features, the Amazon Echo Dot Max makes for a solid smart-home foundation, but that doesn't mean every Echo Dot owner should automatically move up to it. The first wave of "made for Alexa+" devices has arrived, and among them is Amazon's flagship Echo speaker--the Echo Dot Max, the successor to the earlier, fourth-generation Amazon Echo speaker.

Smart Plug Guide (2026): When You Should and Shouldn't Use One
Should You Buy a Smart Plug? Smart plugs can add controls to any outlet, but they aren't perfect for everything. Here's our guide to using one and which ones to buy. A smart plug is a pretty handy gadget, but for a while they were touted as a device you could add to anything to turn it smart. That's true to a certain degree; you can use a smart plug to add instant power control to any outlet, letting you turn the outlet on and off at your command from anywhere in your home (or even if you aren't there).

I just told Alexa to buy the first cheap Sonos speaker it sees
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Alexa+ has a new shopping feature that lets it "auto-buy" items on Amazon when they hit a certain price. Ready to send Alexa+ bargain hunting with your credit card? That's the idea behind the latest shopping feature for the revamped and AI-enhanced Alexa, who you can now snap up deals for you the moment she spots them. Launching today, Alexa+'s new "auto-buy" feature does pretty much what it says: It gives Alexa+ permission to buy items from Amazon on its own, using your default payment method.

Test Against Alexa φ = 0 d
To answer your question about the baseline, we experimented with two new sample audio generated by the same (Karplus-Strong) algorithm and tested against Alexa. The result is shown in Table.1. The musical audio does not fool Alexa. Thank you again for your constructive feedback! Currently, we are also trying to activate the wake-word using our adversary.
