I like Immersion Reading for some books (synchronized text and audiobook). Ebooks with this option show ‘Audible book: Available’ with a little icon indicating that Whispersync for Voice is available in the description.

I generally don’t pre-order or buy books close to their release date, or am patient enough to waitlist it at the library, but there are exceptions, and I’m considering doing this now. But the title is not currently set up for W4V. So I’m trying to decide whether to get started with one format and possibly add the other later.

Is it typical for W4V to be there on release date, or does it often happen that it shows up a little later on? Are there cases where best sellers never get this feature? I don’t read many best sellers or when I do it is months or years following release, so W4V is a known property by then.

I don’t know what goes into setting up W4V, but I can imagine it is not entirely automated, and there may be some time lag between Amazon getting content for both audiobook and ebook from respective publishers and doing the necessary.
