Hi,

Starting in version 1.3.80.0 and above, this is how audio books works:

1. Find the audio book in the Albums view, and open the Album
2. Set the Album Type to 'Audio Book' and press 'OK'
3. Close the Album pop up
4. Now the Album will have a book icon next to it within the Album view.
5. Now just say 'Alexa, ask My Media to read xxxxxxxx' where xxxxxxx is the name of the book.

Note that if My Media detects an audio book when it scans, it will automatically set the Album Type to Audio Book so you may not need to do steps [1]-[4].

To resume the Audio Book where you left off, simply ask My Media to read the book again - "Alexa, ask My Media to read xxxxxxxxx". Alexa should then ask you whether you want to continue where you left off or start again.

Thanks

Hi I have done the steps 1-4
But if I ask Alexa in German
„Alexa Frage mein Media lese xxxxxx“
Nothing happens

Can you try "Alexa, frage mein Medien lies xxxxxx" and see if that works any better? If it doesn't, what does Alexa reply exactly?
