I had the same experience with the song continuing to play after quiting the kindle app.
I just figured it wasn't a bug but a feature.
That's the second half of the trick.

I'm evil, I know.

It's not a feature but a devious plot by Nate to get you to listen to his most awful sound (music it isn't).

Nate, this is all documented in "Kindlegen" is it not? They provided a multimedia sample. What is it that's "new" in your book?

The new stuff uses HTML5 tags and only works on iOS. This dates from the old, old Mobipocket format, and it only ever worked on a PC.

In fact it doesn't work on the Mac even if you have WM and other such media players installed. I'll try it on my Windows/Linux laptop later.

This is OT, but since you did link to the vid: How is it that even by 1987, the bartender can't be a member of Rick's aerobics-obsessed country club but has to position his secret overqualified dance leaps off the counter? It would be fun to hear what the snarkers at Racialicious thought about that.

Interesting that Rickrolling evolved into more formidable forms of social protest.

Are there any advantages to using this feature, compared to the now documented method with Kindlegen?

Wow. I decide to focus mostly on music for a couple of weeks and missed the Mobileread Rickroll of 2011. I'm suddenly compelled to sneak a subtle synth track of the all-too-familiar motif into the song I'm working on.

Hmmm... I've got a couple of people waiting on a "test listen". I could cut the song off two-thirds in and insert Rick at +30db. It would be like the Rickroll version of those scary pictures on the internet where the ghost jumps onto the screen and screams.

I'm so easily corrupted sometimes.
