Whispersync for voice?

[jhempel24]

I'm new to the Kindle world, so forgive me if this has been discussed before...but...this is the work of the devil! And it's pretty damn cool

I was reading the first episode of Scalzi's new serial, and saw this on the Amazon page:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Human-Divi...pd_cp_kstore_0

So I can get the professional narration for only .49 because I've got the book, and to be able to pick up right where I left off in the book just seems soooo neat!

If you go here, you can get the audio version free.

Thanks! I got it, even though I'm about 15 minutes from finishing the book lol.

I've got no idea how it works....it's not syncing automatically like they say it will.

Whispersync for Voice is definitely way cool. Amazon has nearly 20,000 titles available and the list is still growing. Below are some links for the program and some free and reduced price titles.

Amazon Whispersync (19,525 titles)

• Free Titles
• Reduced Prices

Also, if you check out eligible Kindle titles from the library, you can purchase the Audible titles without having to buy the Kindle version.

I've never tried it. I prefer audiobooks over ebooks. So if given a choice, I'll opt for the audiobook and totally bypass the ebook.

My interest in this program is to get audiobooks at reduced pricing.

ps: have you synched both books with wifi on?

I don't know how to sync with audible, I don't really get the option. I think the "free" book isn't whispersync approved maybe?

EDIT: I'm using the Android App

Go to the $0.49 Audible version and see if the stock number in the URL matches the free version (B00AWSNTUS).

Like you said, maybe that's why it's not synching.

Maybe someone else can shed further light on this. I don't have any of these, so I can't try it out.

I'll mess around with it later, wish that I could use my Amazon GC on the Audible stuff, but it doesn't seem they are linked at all.

I just tried this out....wow....creepy. Technology these days.
