Reading and Listening

I would love to see Kobo introduce a feature that syncs progress between the e‑book and audiobook versions of the same title, similar to Whispersync.
I often switch between reading and listening, but the chapter structure doesn’t match, and it’s difficult to find my place again.
This would be a huge quality‑of‑life improvement for Kobo users who enjoy both formats.
Thank you for considering this!

Welcome to MobileRead!

I don't think Kobo folks read the MobileRead forum, but who knows.
