How to Borrow Kindle Books to Qualify for Reduced Whispersync Pricing

One of the best features of the Kindle ecosystem is Whispersync for Voice. This feature allows you to sync qualifying Kindle ebooks with corresponding Audible books. The big plus here is that the audiobooks can be purchased at a reduced price (frequently, greatly reduced).

To qualify for this reduced pricing, you must first own the Kindle book. Besides buying it, you can also borrow it to qualify. Amazon considers two forms of borrowing as ownership (public libraries and the lend/borrow feature). The other two forms of borrowing (Kindle Unlimited and Kindle Owners' Lending Library) do not qualify.

How to Borrow Kindle Books from

Public Library ------ qualifies --> book must be checked out at time of purchase --> US Only
Kindle Books ------- qualifies
Kindle Unlimited --- does not qualify
Lending Library ---- does not qualify
