Audio AND reading simultaneously
Odd as it sounds, my favorite was of listening to audio books is to read along with them. Good readers become more like a performance than a simple reading.
Unfortunately, K3 does not allow me to play an Audible audio book and also access the text. I can only read or listen, but not both at the same time.
If I load up the audio book as MP3 files, I can listen and read at the same time, but with limited software controls I can't rewind or skip ahead 30 seconds like the Audible player does.
Worse, I can't even save my place. If I'm interrupted in mid-chapter and turn off the Kindle, the next time I start up again it plays from the beginning of the MP3 file with no way to skip ahead. K3 simply is not the device for this type of audio/reading together. Back to the K3 for text and my Olympus DM-520 for the audio. Too bad. Seems like a bit of software work by Amazon could solve this, if only . . .
