Audiobook-text integration? About time. People have been asking for that since at least the Kindle 2, but Amazon's the first to find a way to do it.

Wispersync sync for games on the new Fire; start where you left off.
I wonder if they'll announce a smartphone? |

Bummer, no more Kindle TTS it seems. Guess I have to listen on the phone from here on in! (Yes, I'm probably one of the few that uses that on a reg'lar basis... to and from work, and occasionally on the treadmill.)

X-Ray seems to be the key feature. For books and movies. Songs too?

Dang that was my idea! If I'd patented it I'd be trolling Bezos for my retirement right now!! Seriously, I hope this doesn't mean they have ditched TTS. |
