Hello Jürgen,
Yes, I am referring to whisper sync between the audiobook and the kindle
version.

Subject: Re: My Favorite KINDLE APP FEATURE AND A BOOK RECOMMENDATION
Hi Mark,
thanks for the recommendation. I liked Steven King very much but became fad up
by his horror stories. I‘ll give this book a try.
Could you explain more about live narration? Do you mean whisper sync between
the audiobook and the kindle version? Or do you let Alexa read the kindle book?
Thanks and all the best
Jürgen

Hello All,
I think I’ve mentioned this in a previous post but one aspect of Kindle books
that I have been using more and more, is the feature to seamlessly switch
between the live narration of a title and the text of that same title, directly
from within the Kindle app.
If you have not yet explored this feature of the Kindle app, give it a try. I
think you will be pleased.
I recently started reading one of Stephen King’s latest novels called Fairy
Tale. This is not a horror story. If anything, it is a fairy tale for adults.
I strongly recommend that you give this book a try because never in my adult
life have I ever come across a mainstream story in which people with real-life
disabilities are portrayed in such heroic and equal measure as their
non-disabled counterparts.
I am about 50% through the story. Up to this point, other than some slight
profanity, there are no descriptions of sex or any quote, adult, quote, content.
There is a long history as to why Stephen King possesses the ability to write
about people with disabilities in such exciting and yet realistic pros but I’ll
let you discover the answer to that, on your own, if you so choose.
It is so very refreshing to become immersed in a story where people with
disabilities are treated as equals and not as people who have super human
powers who can, for example, in the case of a blind person, distinguish someone
across a room by the rhythm of his heartbeat and respiration rate. I’ve
actually had highly educated professionals, ask me if such a thing is true
based on something they read about on the net or saw in some movie.
Regardless of whatever book you choose, happy reading.
Mark
