Amazon has prepared a great news for fans of audiobooks. From now on, when playing voiceover Kindle for iPhone or iPad application will would highlight the currently read part of it. Audio Companion tested in practice and I’m with him more than satisfied.
The Kindle is not only a device in the form of market-leading e-book readers, but also the software. Amazon created an entire ecosystem for readers and more boldly integrated with each other audiobooks and eBooks.
Audible and Kindle go hand in hand.
Amazon is developing its Kindle ecosystem and owns Audible platform, which is one of the world’s largest sites selling audiobooks. Both worlds – e-books and audiobooks – began long ago to penetrate thanks to the ever stronger integration of the Kindle and Audible.
