Kindle Apps Get Audible Integration
Kindle Reading Apps Now Even Better with Audible Integration—Switch Between Reading and Listening Without Leaving the App

Quote:
Whispersync for Voice lets you start reading while you’re at home, switch to listening on your commute—now with just one tap

Audio upgrades to Kindle books are available from Audible for as little as $0.99, with upgrades to bestsellers available for as little as $3.99

Amazon today announced that Kindle for Android and Kindle for iOS are getting even better, with a free software update that builds a seamless listening experience right into the app. With Whispersync for Voice, recently called “Amazon’s killer new app for books” by the Wall Street Journal, the Kindle app now lets you switch instantly between reading a Kindle book and listening to the companion audiobook from Audible—all with just one tap, without leaving the book.

This new update now includes Immersion Reading; previously only available on Kindle Fires:

Quote:
Got a Kindle Fire HD or an Android device? If so, you can also read and listen simultaneously with real-time highlighting. It's called Immersion Reading and that's what it does: Immerse you in a story by narrating and highlighting the text as you read. It sparks an extra connection that boosts engagement, comprehension, and retention, taking you deeper into the book.

Maybe they could stick some special offers in there too as long as they have gotten my attention with the audio

This is already being discussed in an older thread in the Apple Devices forum, where it belongs BTW. See this thread.

Not in a way android owners would appreciate I'd wager.

Kinda like talking Yankee baseball in Boston.

Perhaps they do, but I don't think you're going to find the die-hard Android users dropping in over there, not if they're not Apple fans as well.

Oh, but they do come in there. Used to be some lively conversations at that.

I'd like to encourage you to move your devices to a diet of fruits, nuts and fresh vegetables.

They'll run so much better without all that junkfood you say they're running on right now.

I must be an atypical Audible user. I only listen to a book after I've read it. I never listen to the same book that I'm reading.

I prefer listening to the book and never reading it.
