Hi, afraid i do not know anything about Kindles but as no one else has helped maybe the below link might help you, it goes through the steps for your Kindle

Hello

I'm not sure I understand - what is Alexias?  Are you talking about the Echo Dot from Amazon where the command word for giving instructions is Alexa? 

Perhaps NigeFs post has helped you, if not, give us a bit more information.

Cheers

Are you wanting to listen to Audible downloads on your kindle or asking Alexa to read out load a book already on your kindle.

If your fire stick is plugged into your tv, then Alexa will read to you via your TV speakers. She will set it up for you as long as If you ask her nicely and she’s not having one of her moody days. Facility is not available for all books though and definitely only on those downloaded through Amazon

If you are still struggling and the the link supplied  by NigeF  hasn’t solved your problem, we might need a bit more information as to exactly what you are trying to do

Which kindle device are you using  Fire, Paperwhite etc.

Which other devices do you own as well as a fire stick that will work with Alexa - phone, tablet, tv. etc

Hello Brian

 Good, I'm glad that was helpful.  If you are in Spain remember to order on Amazon.es & avoid Amazon. Co.Uk. That way you wont have to pay post Brexit charges of VAT & Import tax on your delivery

Cheers

Mole1 Many books are now also available in audio form. Download the book, plug in your earphones and listen to as much or as little of the book you want to.

Hope this helps.

With  a kindle e-reader  you can only use Bluetooth earphones or ear pods as they don’t have  the socket to plug in earphones/headphones. It’s far easier and cheaper to use Alexa, just download your book, read it or get Alexa to read it to you, automatically syncs when you want to go back to reading. Otherwise you had to pay to download the additional audio file or pay for audible. 

I love the fact that Alexa reads to me whilst I’m cooking and cleaning as I have multiple devices around the house.  - I stocked up on echo devices when they were 13.99€ before Christmas.
