So, can I ask a really really stupid question about Whispersync for Voice? Honest, I looked, must have overlooked the answer though!
If I buy the ebook to read on my K4NT, can I then Listen on my computer? Or does it all have to be on the same device?
And, are the Whispersync for Voice books just Audible Books at a cheaper price?
Thanks for the info! I'm sure these are very obvious questions, but I swear the old brain is slow today!

Whispersync for Voice is a program that syncs Kindle ebooks with Audible audiobooks on compatible devices. It's not a type of Audible book per se.

You can listen on a computer with the Audible desktop app. However, according to the list of compatible devices, it won't sync to your mobile device.

For syncing purposes, you don't have to read / listen on the same mobile device. You can read on a Paperwhite and listen on an iPhone. Likewise, you can read on an iPad mini and listen on a Galaxy S4. As long as the devices are compatible, you can jump around from device to device.

Here's an FAQ on Whispersync followed by a compatibility list:

Read with
  • Kindle (3rd gen and up)
  • Kindle Fire (all models)
  • Kindle Apps
Listen with
  • Kindle Keyboard
  • Kindle Touch
  • Kindle Fire (all models)
  • Audible for Android
  • Audible for iPhone

Tubemonkey explained it, but may not have directly answered a couple of your questions. Once you buy the Kindle edition and the Audible audiobook, you own both a Kindle edition and an Audible audiobook. You can read the Kindle edition on any device that supports it and you can listen to the Audible audiobook on any device that supports it, independently of each other. The "magic" in WhisperSync for Voice is that is synchronizes your position between the ebook and the audiobook, so that you can read the first three chapters of a book on K4NT and then when you fire up Audible on whatever device, it will pick up with chapter 4 of that book. There is an additional feature if you own a Kindle Fire called Immersive Reading where you listen to the audiobook and read the Kindle edition at the same time, sort of like reading to a child.

That is what I needed answered, I just did an awful job of asking! Thank you for deciphering for me!
One other question. Do I get the audio book cheaper if I already have the Kindle edition? And do I have to have an Audible account that I pay monthly on to get the audio book at that price? Ok, fine, two questions!
And, is it Friday yet? It's been a really really long week!

Not 100% of the time, but usually yes.

You'll get the reduced price if it's the correct edition.

You don't need a paying account.

Who is Audible syncing the other 2,000 titles with?? (Maybe duplicate editions - e.g., 4 different versions of Jane Eyre)?

My regular American Gods audiobook synced with my 10th anniversary edition ebook so I'd guess you're right.

Yes. There are usually different audiobooks for the classics to choose from. Also at different prices, even for Whispersync. And if you are not in the US (like me), most of the 99c titles show up as 3.44$, which is still a good deal, though.
