If you link your Facebook to your Alexa app you can personalise your wallpaper on your Echo Show. Open your Alexa app, go to the menu and select “Settings”, “Photos” and then log into your Facebook account.
“Alexa, what have you learnt today?” Today Alexa has been thinking about why there is so much chocolate around at Easter.

Whilst buying audiobooks can be expensive so why not ask “Alexa, read me a free audiobook”. There is a small selection to choose from each month. The other option is to download free books to your kindle or kindle app and have them read to you. Not the best way to listen but it is free.
For children you can ask “Alexa, read a bedtime story” and hear a professionally narrated bedtime story.
