If you’ve run out of fitness inspiration with your favorite cardio machine’s video streaming app of choice, it might be worth checking out the new Peloton update.
The company has announced a partnership with Amazon’s Kindle library to allow users to read their books while they workout. If you use Peloton Bike, Bike+, Tread or Tread+, you’ll have access to the new feature.
Peloton Guide users and those who workout with the Peloton app without a connected device will not be able to access or use their Kindle libraries and will need to switch between apps.
In a new blog post from Amazon, the announcement states: “You’ll never have to awkwardly hold a book or Kindle e-reader while trying to maintain proper posture again. You’ll never have to rush your workout to get back to your cozy reading nook again.”
“With the Kindle reading experience on Peloton, members can turn the page with just a tap and immerse themselves in their favorite stories while enjoying their favorite workout.”
How to read e-books on your Peloton
You can sign in here to view your full Amazon Kindle library. To access, simply go to the navigation bar on your Peloton device and sign in to your Amazon account on the Peloton platform.
Books open where you last left off, so you can seamlessly switch from your best Kindle to your Peloton device. You’ll also find Kindle features like adjusting font size, setting bookmarks, and more.
At the time of writing, the feature is only available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Austria and Germany.
