Wait a minute! Won’t I have to buy the book twice? This is great news for fans of Audible who previously had to find their place manually on audiobooks if they were going to listen to a book on more than one device. You can pause an audiobook on your iPhone and start listening to it on your iPad where you left off on your iPhone. Whispersync for Voice can also be used with Audible audiobooks between different devices. Suddenly, your time available for reading just expanded exponentially. Similarly, if you’re listening to an Audible book, you can pick up where you left off on a Kindle book. If you start reading a book on a Kindle, you can pick up listening where you left off in an Audible book. With Whispersync for Voice, now Audible and Kindle books can sync with each other. You wish you could read “on the go.” Audible and Kindle You’re engrossed in your favorite book but it’s time to exercise. You can’t listen for fear of waking your partner. You wake in the middle of the night, eager to learn what happens next in your audiobook. You don’t want to be late but you know you’ll be distracted until you find out what happens next in the book. You’re reading an amazing novel on your Kindle but you have to leave for your morning commute to the office. You know that you’ll be stuck in the waiting room for a while but you won’t be able to listen to your audiobook for fear that you won’t hear your name being called. You would love to continue listening but you don’t want to be late for your appointment. You arrive in the parking lot just as you get to an intensely good part. You’re listening to a gripping audiobook on the way to a doctor’s appointment. Now the feature has been expanded to include Audible audiobooks. Amazon has over 15,000 Kindle books available with Whispersync for Voice. Whispersync was formerly just for Kindle books, you could start reading a Kindle book on your Kindle, pick up your iPhone and continue reading on your Kindle app where you left off reading on your Kindle. Whispersync for Voice gives you the best of both worlds: the convenience of both an ebook and an audiobook. Amazon recently introduced Whispersync for Voice, a syncing service that lets you sync back and forth between Audible audiobooks and Kindle books on many devices, so you can pick up where you left off between the two formats. You may have discovered ebooks and audiobooks, but there are times when it’s better to listen while other times it’s better to read. Even if you love to read, you may struggle to find time to sit down with a good book. The application will upload your books and, eventually, they’ll appear on the devices you selected.We all wish we had more time to read. Select the devices you wish to send your books to and click Send. The window will change to show the books you intend to mail as well as a list of Kindle devices registered to your account. Just launch the application and drag any Mobi files you wish to sync into its window. And Amazon provides a tool for doing exactly that in the form of its Send to Kindle application. The way that works is to email these books to your Kindle and iOS device. The incorrect way is to “sideload” them-meaning copying them from your computer directly to the device as you would if you mounted your Kindle reader as a USB device or added books to the Kindle app on your iPad via iTunes. So while you can read them, they won’t sync page information between devices unless you load them in the correct way. Books that have been converted to Mobi format often lack this metadata. These books contain a particular bit of metadata that tells the Kindle reader that page syncing can be carried out with this particular piece of literature. Is there any way to make them behave like Amazon’s ebooks?Īs some are so fond of saying, “You’re loading it wrong.” It’s like this: Ebooks sold by Amazon are in the Mobi format. While the books I purchase from Amazon stay in sync, I sometimes add books to the two devices that I got somewhere other than Amazon ( Project Gutenberg, for example). I have the Kindle app on my iPad as well as a “real” Kindle e-reader. Brian Hamilton, a reader who reads, is frustrated by what he perceives to be a Kindle limitation.
