I can agree with this. I did always find it a bit jarring that I had to wake up before the sun was even out, lol. Thinking about it now you raise a good point. Haven't woken up that early in years. I find it 100x easier to wake up when I have the blinds open to hit me in the morning.
I’ve found that Amazon’s TTS service is a great way to listen to any kindle book (including ones borrowed from the library). I don’t have any Alexa devices, but I downloaded the Alexa app and use it to read books aloud as do other things.
The main annoyance is that when resuming a book, it often restarts a couple minutes before I left off.
This, plus the information which books Bruce Schneier selected for his library and which he omitted. The books themselves are pretty worthless, agreed, but someone might buy it as a collection that might have some worth in and by itself.
