Quick question - Audible/Oasis - volume

Pangolin · 11-07-2017, 07:32 AM

Hi, I'm just taking a look at the various bluetooth earbuds out there. Some have no volume control.

Can anyone let me know how you can control the volume of the Audible book if the bluetooth device you are streaming to has no vol controls pls? Or would you have to choose a pair that could control volume.
Thanks,
A

When playing an audible book there’s a volume control on the kindle screen.

Another Audible question if someone knows and has a moment - can you only play books for which you have the Kindle version, or will it play any title regardless, in your library?
Thanks

Any title you own on audible. If you have a audible version of a book, even if you don't have it downloaded yet, it shows a little headphone logo in the top right corner. Assuming you are using the cover view. And it does the other way around too. So if you use the drop down to show all your audible titles, if you have the ebook of the same book, it will have a little book logo in the top corner.

You can change a setting how the audible books show on the kindle. 2 options. I think one is for if you want to only see them when you use the dropdown to audible, or if you want them to show everywhere. I haven't figured out the difference on those yet.

Just be ware, you can only do one at a time, reading or listening. You have to switch from audible to ebook. Its just tapping a logo and it picks up where you were. But you can't listen and read at the same time.

I guess I could do that if I asked my Echo to play the audiobook and just pull it up on my Oasis to read along. But its not on the same device.

That is what “you can't listen and read at the same time.” means, yes.
