Seems to be case by case basis. In the US, where fair use is a valid affirmative defense there has been no push to clarify those matters. In other locations without a general fair use doctrine specific laws are required. Murkiness has its uses. |

Also, it is not Amazon charging but the publisher/author. The publisher/author chooses the price and Amazon gets a cut out of each sale |

Completely independent of the topic of this thread: I love the cheap audible "add on" to ebooks. And it is kinda cool to read or listen to a book..back and forth...as desired. |

I've bought a number of cheap audiobooks this way, but I can't say I've ever tried reading along, or go back and forth. It's just never really appealed to me.

I do sometimes switch between reading and listening. Sometimes its nice to set the sleep timer to 30 minutes or an hour and go to sleep listening to the Audiobook, then resume reading the next morning over coffee!

I prefer to listen to one book and read a different one. Right now I am listening to March Up Country by Ringo and Weber. I am just finishing up Combat Ineffective by William Peter Grasso. Since I purchased an Audible Membership that gives me 4 free books I am planning to get the other three Empire of Man books and listen to them.

When I first read this I thought you meant that you listen to one book and read another simultaneously. You don't, do you? Last edited by BookCat; 12-02-2018 at 06:42 AM. |

I made and error in my post; I meant listen to one book while reading another. I've corrected it. Silly me! |

It is an easy mistake to make considering the way I wrote it makes it sound like I did them together.

- Book doesn't count in 5 Gb Amazon's 'Personal Documents' limit. - You can (usually) buy audible version and use 2 versions together for 'Immersive reading'(Kindle app for Android/iOS will highlight sentences as it reads) - Audible versions of Kindle books you bought are sometimes much cheaper. - Kindle/Goodreads integration works much better for books you bought in Kindle Store so you can change reading status, update progress, review right on device. |

Not having to waste a lot of time imagining new piracy-justification excuses that no one else was really going to buy anyway.
