Amazon's AI Feature Lets Kindle Users Ask Book Questions

The feature is always on, and authors and publishers can't turn it off.
There are some concerns about how this feature works and what it means for copyrights.
Amazon also recently launched a new Kindle Paperwhite in India and a Kindle Scribe tablet that lets you write with a stylus and has a color screen.
