What do you like listening to on your Kindle?

sylviebi · 08-23-2011, 12:36 PM

I like listening to the sounds of "whatever" while I read on my kindle. Like the sounds of thunderstorm, whales, loons, Algonquin Parc...
What do you like to listen to?

I don't listen to music on my Kindle. I use my iPhone.

I can't concentrate when having sound around me while reading, so I don't listen to anything on my kindle.

radiohead "in rainbows"
have a sufjan stevens ep on there right now
i don't listen to music when i read, but i like listening to music on my kindle for some reason.

I like listening to classical music while I read and the Kindle is very handy for that because of its built-in speakers; something lacking in my MP3 player (Sansa Clip+).

I listen to Suzy Solar's DJ show/podcast

http://suzysolar.com/suzysolar/

She doesn't talk, just music, so it's nice to listen to while reading

howyoudoin · 08-24-2011, 07:58 AM

I just read. I'm afraid of what playing background music might do to the battery life in the long term. I don't want to take chances and end up having to recharge the kindle every couple of days after a year or so

RainingLemur · 08-25-2011, 11:29 AM

I put a couple podcasts on there from time to time. That, and I'll sometimes listen to the e-voice read to me.

sylviebi · 08-25-2011, 11:52 AM

mine was mute too for a while because I was worried about battery life but since I had my kindle replaced and had never used this feature on my previous one... I broke it and had this big regret thing going on... I thought this time why not...
Voices would be distracting. so sounds only. I find it helps drown out all the other noises going on in my house. Quiet does not happen in my house until after midnight and I am asleep then :-)

I would have to use headphones to get decent sound quality, but long use of headphone + reading = headache.

skyingbo · 08-25-2011, 03:25 PM

I often listen ghost stories,some have more effects.

shanghaichica · 08-28-2011, 06:12 AM

Nothing so far, however I do have some star trek audiobooks loaded on there in case I ever fancy listening to something on it. I doubt I will though as I usually listen to audiobooks on my iPhone.

Silence. Now be quiet, I'm reading

Shhh,
