If your Peloton machine has become a de facto clothesline, you now have another reason to put away your clothes and get on it, thanks to Peloton's new partnership with Amazon to display e-books on its treadmill and exercise bike displays

Many excellent products

Like many good exercise bikes, Peloton's machines have large, immersive displays that allow you to participate in the company's high-intensity classes But sometimes you may just want to leisurely spin, jog, or read a book

Kindle e-books are now available to anyone with a Peloton Bike, Bike+, Tread, or Tread+ exercise machine; Peloton device owners can find them at the bottom of the navigation bar on their device's display Entertainment tab to find the Kindle Library

The Kindle app works on other devices as well, allowing you to retrieve and adjust any books you may have misplaced This includes adjusting font size, bookmark placement, and moving between chapters Page turning is simply a tap on the display

It is unclear how Amazon's announcement will integrate guided workouts with reading the book, but perhaps you would prefer to start your run or ride without a guide; Peloton has not officially announced this;

Amazon has not yet announced how it will integrate guided workouts with the book

Amazon recommends several books in their announcement post if you want to read something new

The Kindle feature is not available everywhere; it is available in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Austria, and Germany

In other Peloton and entertainment news, the fitness company has partnered with DirecTV to offer DirecTV Stream on all Peloton machines, including bikes, treadmills, and rowing devices

The partnership will allow exercisers to watch shows, news, and sports while they complete their workout routines with the new “Just Guidance” feature The Just Guidance tool features workouts created by Peloton instructors

DirecTV Stream is DirecTV's package of live channels that can be streamed on smart devices The entry-level “Entertainment” option starts at $5999 and required a subscription

They also offer more sports-specific add-ons and packages In our review, Kelly Woo said Streamer is great for sports fans, but may not compare to other live services like Live TV, YouTube TV
