I usually listen to audible during commute (many now have whispersync to the ebook), sometimes I use the app when there's no audiobook and I have 10 minutes to kill on the subway but don't have the kindle with me. It's super convenient.

TTS is now worse to use on a Kindle compared to the KK3 or DXG. I use Pocketbook on Android 5 to 11 for TTS. Sync is by remembering where I was, as neither Kobo or Amazon is going to sync my Pocketbook app. Last edited by Quoth; 11-02-2023 at 08:43 AM. |

I read on several devices and sync my reading position between them. This only works for my Android devices (ereaders with apps!). I mostly read other books on the Libra 2.

I'm not using my Paperwhite for audiobooks. I find that tedious because the device is too large for my pockets. |

I think the point is that whispersync is extremely convenient for those who alternate reading on the Kindle, and then listening to same book via Audible (probably on a phone) during a commute, or chores, or whatever. The Audible version starts up just where the ebook left off and vice versa.
