[il-talk] NFB Newsline on Amazon Alexa

[Lewis Wood]

Saint Louis Post Dispatch works.   My only gripe is there is no way to skip multiple articles or an entire section.   I plays it in alphabetical order.   Thus Section Business, Entertainment, etc....

I like the business, but want to skip Entertainment most of the time and there are 23 articles I it is quite annoying to constantly say "Lexa Next Article"..

Read "My Newspaper". is too annoying unless you configure it for only one section.    Turns out for example it loads all articles in current edition and past editions for that section in your My Newspaper.

  I tried "Android Central" by article 23 it was reading articles I have read in the past already.    So no "Next Section".  I finally abandoned after 53 articles.

I removed the magazine and put Obituaries and BND Political and NY Times Editorials.   Forget it after 21 articles of obituaries going back to July I gave up on my "Newspaper". altog

This is so cool! thank you NFB for this. This will greatly help our consumers for this. I just found out today that my Alexia can now read my emails. I can also now create and delete my calenders event.

Lewis, let me know when you get the Belleville News Democrat going.

Thanks!
