Tubemonkey, thanks again for all of the work you do on the audiobooks threads. I know that it is a lot! If you weren't doing it, the threads would be much "poorer."
Karma just sent your way. |

Just got an email from Audible -- "$10 if I use 4 credits by June 8th". Just a coincidence that I have 4 credits sitting in my account? Somehow, I don't think so...

No, they aren't! I have that many in my wishlist, though, so I might just do it.

For Simon Vance fans, and genealogy buffs - Today's Kindle Daily Deal
For Simon Vance fans, and genealogy buffs, one of today's Kindle Daily Deal may appeal.
All three books in the Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery series for $1.99 each - these feature said Mr. Tayte, a genealogist, doing genealogical detective work, solving genealogical mysteries and having a thrilling time doing so (something like that). Each of the books is paired with it's Audible edition and are $0.99 once you have the Kindle edition, thanks to Whispersync For Voice. Caveat: Only the second two show up in Amazon as WFV but I already had the first one - from it's original publisher, this author has since been picked up by Thomas & Mercer - and it was matched, for me; it may be that once you buy the Kindle edition of book #1 that Audible will show it as matched and discounted, but do your own due diligence on that first one. http://www.audible.com/pd/Mysteries-...ook/B00IK16RX0 http://www.audible.com/pd/Mysteries-...ook/B00IK1BSN4 http://www.audible.com/pd/Mysteries-...ok/B00IK0Y9WW/ |

I haven't been paying attention; I use Audible and I use Kindle, but I never use them together. I bought this for my daughter, and when I told her about it, I realized that if she started to read it, we could also listen to it together in the car, with Whispersync. (She's just finishing 2nd grade and while she has started *many* books, she doesn't seem to finish them. I am hoping with this she will want to continue the story when we get out of the car, on her own, and that this will make it easy to find her place each time. Or, more likely, she won't read it at all and will just listen to it, but I thought we could at least try.) Is there something special that I have to make the two work together? I listen to my books with the Audible app, but out of my iTunes library. Do I need to download directly from Audible into the app and it will sync by itself without me having to tell it so? Or do I have to do something extra inside the app or on the Kindle to make they sync with each other? Sorry if this is the wrong place for my question; I learned about it here so it seemed like people who would know are also here, but I can make a new post somewhere else if it is appropriate. |

@sakura-panda:
After reading your question, I looked at the "Frequently Asked Questions for Audible for Whispersync for Voice" page and pasted an excerpt below. If you want further information, you can click the link to read more FAQs and their answers. === Q: What is Whispersync for Voice? A: If you've ever been so absorbed in a book that you've missed your train stop or couldn't go to sleep, you'll love this feature. Whispersync for Voice is a breakthrough technology that allows you to swit ch back and forth between reading a Kindle book and listening to the companion Audible audiobook without losing your place. That means you can keep the story going on the books you love, and enjoy more of them. In addition to remembering position, Whispersync for Voice keeps your notes and bookmarks across devices as well. With Whispersync for Voice you can read on any Kindle or Kindle app and then switch to listening on the Audible app for iPhone or Android and any Kindle Tablet (Kindle Fire HD 8.9", Kindle Fire HD 7", Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, and Kindle Fire 1st Generation). === Q: Can other eBook or audio formats be synchronized? A: This feature works only with Kindle eBooks and audiobooks purchased directly from Audible. === Q: What devices will support these new features? A: With Whispersync for Voice you can listen on the Audible App for iPhone or Android or any Kindle Tablet (Kindle Fire HD 8.9", Kindle Fire HD 7", Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, and Kindle Fire 1st Generation) and you can read on any Kindle or Kindle App. You can use Immersion Reading on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9", Kindle Fire HD 7", Kindle Fire 2nd Generation. === Q: How do these features work? A: • Whispersync for Voice Whispersync for Voice syncs your Kindle book and Audiobook positions to the cloud. This allows you to switch back and forth between reading on the Kindle or Kindle app and listening to an audiobook on an Audible app or Kindle Fire family tablet without ever losing your place. As long as your Whispersync for Voice-ready device has access to the Internet, the playback position, bookmarks, and notes will be kept across devices without any action required. To read, all you need is a Kindle or a Kindle app. To listen, download the Audible App for iPhone or Android or use a Kindle tablet. • Immersion Reading The Kindle Fire HD 8.9", Kindle Fire HD 7", Kindle Fire 2nd Generation have Immersion Reading built into the device. Immersion Reading can be used when both the Kindle book from the Kindle store and the audiobook from the Audible store have been purchased. Once both are downloaded, simply open your Kindle book, tap the play icon in the lower left hand corner and watch your book come alive with professional narration and real-time word highlighting. Any time you want to pause the narration, click the pause button. No matter what page you are on click the play button again and immersion reading will start from where you left off reading. === Q:I have the audiobook in my Audible Library and have also bought the Kindle version of the same book. Yet, they aren't syncing? A:If your Audible audiobook and Kindle book are not syncing this may be because your Amazon ID and Audible account are not linked. In order for Whispersync for Voice and Immersion Reading to function properly Audible must be able to communicate with your Amazon account and vice versa. If your username is not your full email address or you are not using your Amazon account with Audible you may need to link the accounts. In order to do this: 1.Visit https://www.audible.com/acc-merge. 2.Enter your Audible username and password when requested. 3.Enter your Amazon email and password when requested. 4.Select the credit or debit card you wish to use as the Default Card for Audible purchases. It's important to remember that from that point on, your old Audible username will no longer work, so you will access your Audible account with your Amazon credentials. Once the accounts have been linked you should now be able to sync your Audible audiobook and Kindle book. Last edited by Froide; 06-09-2014 at 11:28 PM. |

Since then, I was still able to get the $5 Facebook promo, the Buy 4 Get $10 promo, and the first $10 Avis promo. So having not having a membership of any type hasn't hampered my ability to get the promos I want. What they offer you will more than likely depend on the type and length of your current membership. They may give you a some free credits or a membership discount to get you to extend or renew your current membership. Or they may offer you the AudibleListener Light Plan (about $10 per year): Quote:

Remember, syncing between the Kindle ebook and the Audible audiobook requires an internet connection. You don't need to be on the internet the entire time, but you do need to establish your position on the internet at the end of your reading/listening session. If you don't, Whispersync won't know where your position really is and will send you to the last known sync. One feature you might try for her is Immersion Reading (see the info Froide gave you); but that requires ownership of a Kindle Fire (all models, except the first generation). As to iTunes, I don't know how that would work. I don't use it. I would assume (no guarantees) that the books should sync in you're listening to them from the Audible app. Hopefully, someone who uses Audible through iTunes will be able to provide a definitive answer. If you still have questions, don't hesitate to ask them. |
