Looking to interview Whispersync users

[afterwit]

I am working on a piece for the Wall Street Journal on Amazon's Whispersync feature, and how seamless switching between audio and text is changing the nature of reading. (I myself have been churning through books this way, after years treating my e-reading and audiobook listening as two distinct experiences).

Hoping to find fellow Whispersync users willing to talk about their experience. If you're up for it, email me at jeremy.olshan@dowjones.com

(Here is a piece I did in 2012 on audiobook listening while running: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/...29202490992958 )

If you're going to write a story about it, you may want to get the terminology correct. "Whispersync" is not only about audiobooks--it's about syncing ALL of your books so that you can read them on different devices and not lose your place, and your highlights, bookmarks, and annotations follow through no matter what device you are reading on. "Whispersync for Voice" is the feature that allows you to seamlessly switch between reading an ebook and listening to an audiobook.
