I am tempted by the Bird Songs book - I had tried some of the free bird song apps - but wasn't really impressed.

This is really neat idea to work with. You could have a video introduction by the author. Or audio/video annotations by experts on classic novels.

I don't either, Bremen, and the guy on Teleread seems to be using it already so I'm guessing its the current 2.2.1 version that already has the capability!

Yes - the current Kindle app version handles these new books. I have the Bird Songs book now - it's a lot of fun to use - the audio is fine - driving my cats nuts!

Cool! I am not a bird watcher or anything, I'm the type that hardly notices their there..... but of the 13 books listed, this is tempting. Are the pictures of each of the 250 individual birds? In other words are there panels of say 5 birds, or does each bird get a full page? The idea of looking at a really good pic of the bird and hearing its particular song is interesting to me. We have lots of birds where I live and I am clueless what most are............
