It is possible to “read” books on Audible, not just listen to them. Audible offers a feature called “Whispersync for Voice” that allows you to seamlessly switch between reading an eBook and listening to the corresponding audiobook. This feature is available on certain titles and can be quite convenient for those who enjoy both reading and listening to books.
To use the Whispersync for Voice feature, you would need to have both the eBook and audiobook versions of the same title in your Audible library. When you start reading the eBook, Audible will keep track of your progress. If you decide to switch to the audiobook, Audible will automatically sync to the furthest page you’ve read in the eBook, allowing you to continue from where you left off.
This feature is particularly useful for people who like to switch between reading and listening depending on their circumstances. For example, you might start reading a book on your Kindle during your morning commute, and then continue listening to the audiobook version while you’re driving or doing chores around the house. This way, you can seamlessly transition between reading and listening, ensuring that you never miss a beat in the story.
I personally find this feature incredibly convenient, as it allows me to make the most of my time and enjoy books in different formats. Sometimes, I prefer to sit down and read a physical book or eBook, but there are also times when I prefer to sit back and relax while someone narrates the story to me. With Audible’s Whispersync for Voice, I don’t have to choose between reading and listening – I can have the best of both worlds.
It’s important to note that not all books on Audible have the Whispersync for Voice feature enabled. Publishers and authors have the option to enable or disable this feature for their titles. So, if you’re specifically looking for books that support Whispersync for Voice, you can search for them using Audible’s website or app. You can filter your search results to only show titles that have this feature, ensuring that you can switch between reading and listening seamlessly.
Audible allows you to not only listen to audiobooks but also “read” them using the Whispersync for Voice feature. This feature enables you to switch between reading an eBook and listening to the corresponding audiobook, ensuring a seamless experience. Whether you prefer reading or listening, Audible offers a flexible way to enjoy your favorite books.
