亞馬遜最近推出新功能「Ask this Book」,是基於人工智慧的助理,可幫助 Kindle 用戶輕鬆理解閱讀中的書,用戶讀電子書時可隨時詢問 AI 助理情節、角色關係和主題等問題,無需再回頭翻書找答案。用戶只需 highlight 任何段落,然後選擇建議問題或輸入問題,系統會提供即時、上下文相關答案,避免劇透。
新功能目前僅限美國Kindle iOS,亞馬遜9月硬體活動已宣布,2026年擴展至Kindle設備和Android平台。亞馬遜還推出其他工具,如AI Recaps和Assistive Reader,加強平台功能。
但新功能引發作者和出版商擔憂,因是「始終開啟」,且沒有退出選項。許多作者對作品被AI幫忙閱讀感到不安,也可能侵犯版權。批評者質疑,這種AI解釋是否分散讀者注意力,削弱書籍本身闡明主題或情節的功能。
儘管新功能是為了提升閱讀體驗,但亞馬遜尚未回應反對意見。AI進一步發展,未來閱讀這娛樂行為可能會面臨更多挑戰和討論。
