I plugged it into my car stereo like I would my ipod. And maybe it was just the sound of driving, wind, etc... but it wasn't terrible. I mean, don't get me wrong, it wasn't as good as a real audiobook but since I'd never buy an audiobook of a book I already owned this works out rather well enough.
Wow! That's super cool ! I have a Ipod attachment that plugs into my Ipod Shuffle and plays on the car radio. Nice! Now I can just plug it into the Kindle instead and have my Kindle read to me.



I can charge my Kindle via my car's cell phone charger if needed on long trip down to my Mom's house which is a nine hour drive.
