Amazon has launched a "Recaps" feature for Kindle users, offering AI-generated summaries to assist readers in recalling plot points and character arcs for ongoing series. Users can find these recaps on series pages of their Kindle Library. Although concerns about accuracy arose from users on Reddit, Amazon insists on careful moderation to ensure recaps reflect book content accurately. The feature aims to improve readers' engagement with complex narratives while preserving the excitement of discovering new stories. It is currently available for thousands of English-language eBooks, with plans to expand to the iOS Kindle app.
"By adding a new level of convenience to series reading, the Recaps feature enables readers to dive deeper into complex worlds and characters without losing the joy of discovery."
"We use technology, including GenAI and Amazon moderators, to create short recaps of books that accurately reflect book content," Amazon spokesperson Ale Iraheta said.
