  "account": "Amazon has begun rolling out its 'Ask this book' AI feature to select Kindle models, bringing the AI-powered tool to more users. This update is part of software version 5.20.2, and thus far, it has only been reported on Kindle models from 2026, and possibly in the United States. Initially launched almost a year ago, 'Ask this book' allowed users to ask questions about their current reads. Now, it is available on the Kindle Colorsoft 2026 and the Kindle Paperwhite 2026, though it is unclear if other 2026 Kindles will receive the update. Users have only seen this feature appear on newer Kindle models, leaving older generations, like my 2024 Colorsoft Signature Edition, without it.",
