Read and listen simultaneously with real-time highlighting. It's called Immersion Reading and that's what it does: immerse you in a story by narrating and highlighting the text as you read. It sparks an extra connection that boosts engagement, comprehension, and retention, taking you deeper into the book.
Currently on the Kindles that support Audiobooks, you can read or you can listen but not both at the same time.
One question that pops to mind is how do they handle adapting to the user's reading speed? Does it force only certain speeds -- a thousand words per minute is going to need an auctioneer's vocal talents.

And I guess, I get to eat the cost of owning both the ebook and Audible audiobook (with whispersync enabled) versions.
