If you wanted to listen to audiobooks you're actually better off downloading the kindle app, when you buy the ebook they offer you a really discounted price for the audible narration, which both together are often cheaper than buying the audibook alone. I recently purchased an e book from kindle for $7aud then it offered The audiobook for $3aud. And if you have the audible app it automatically transferrs it to audible aswell. No audible subscription needed. Btw that same Audiobook alone was $38 for non members and obviously for members audibooks are no more than $15.

Thanks Nick! You didn't mention using the Kindle to read non-Amazon marketed books in EPUB form. I get these from Project Guttenburg (public domain titles) and from various other publishers. I use Calibre - a free software product for PC (don't know if there's a Mac version) to manage these titles and get them on and off the kindle. These titles won't show up on your Amazon account, though you can download your Amazon titles into Calibre and just manage everything from there, if you like. Also, Barnes and Noble, an American bookseller, markets their own e-book reader called Nook - a competitor to Kindle that has been around for a long time. A tablet computer like the iPad can give a very similar reading experience with the Kindle app installed and has the added advantage of letting you manage your library with one device.
@MCJSA15 күн бұрын
If you use Kindle for foreign language reading, the device integrates with varous, pre loaded foreign language dictionaries to give good, dictionary based, definitions of any word you highlight. I read in several languages and find this feature very useful. Also, while it may be difficult to access foreign language books locally, many are available from the Kindle store or from various other publishers. Many titles are free, particularly in Latin and Greek. Another source of free books is your public library, most of which offer digital borrowing as does the Internet Archive.

Audible lies about having a free 365 day return policy. I returned two books and they locked up my entire library preventing me from returning any more books. The books I returned were two of the $2.95 books. I thought I'd take a chance to see how they were since they have free returns. They sucked so I returned and then found out I was blackballed from returning anymore, ever I guess because they locked up all of my books in my library. Well to hell with Audible. I can go elsewhere.
