Your info. box lists "Voyage" as the device you own.
How are you going to listen to anything?
In case you haven't noticed, your Voyage does not have any speakers (or other support for audio media).
The last Kindle (grayscale) model that supported audio was the Kindle Touch (called: K5 here).

The only need for the actual device (kindle) would be the progress%; I'm imagining a PC (or web) client to do the actual playing and house the audio files, etc.
Was talking to my boss (iOS developer) and he mentioned it'd be "a very interesting technical challenge to try to auto pick music by analyzing text" which is indeed interesting, though just a way for users to make their own maps & link them to their own playlists/audio files would be the place to start. But yeah I am just ideating (?) now cuz that's what I do, though I totally agree with "a lot of people would use something like this if it were really well executed".
This is definitely possible with a custom eReader app, i.e for iOS or Android, but I'm wanting to find out if it's possible to send out that progress% from a jailbroken kindle (any kindle not necessarily the one I have) cuz those are much better to read on than a regular tablet.
