I don’t have a prime membership, but I can also get audible companions for some of my kindle books. They cost seven dollars each. There is, as I wrote in a previous message, the option to subscribe to “Kindle unlimited “. You can see what kinds of books there are in that section by going to the Kindle store.

So, in the Kindle app, you can read the title via VoiceOver or choose to hear the human voices which were recorded in a studio; the same audio heard in any Audible title. You can also navigate the title via the audio narration or via VoiceOver. For example, when you use a VoiceOver gesture to change pages or jump to a specific location in the book, when next you engage the Audible portion, the human voice narration reading will resume at the same location. It's really quite amazing (smile). In the US, a standard annual Prime membership subscription is currently $139.

Please understand that there is a great deal about Amazon and Amazon prime benefits that many find rather confusion, including me, so I am just going to relay my experience and in no way am I posting as an expert. Okay, the other day, I saw an advertisement for a newly released collection of short stories that were published on Kindle, only, with audio narration (narration by Audible). There was a fee for the collection but the advertisement stated that Prime members could download and read the collection for free. Intrigued, I fired up my trusty iOS Kindle app and opened the Discover tab. Now remember, I'm going to keep this as simple as possible. In no way was my first experience a quick and smooth one for I had no idea of how any of this worked. Okay, after opening the Discover tab, I selected the category, "Prime Reading." There is also a "Kindle Unlimited" category, which I did not explore. I suspect that the Kindle Unlimited program is to Prime Reading as the Amazon Music Unlimited program is to Prime Music; a guess, only. Once I selected Prime Reading, a new screen was displayed. There are several sub categories to explore but, in order to search for a specific title, I selected "Browse the Catalog." On the next screen, there are two important items to note: (1) the search field and (2) the filter button. Whether you merely want to browse the catalog or search for a specific title, set the filter to "eBooks with Audible" and launch your search. All of the resulting titles will be eBooks that have Audible narration that are free for Prime members to read in Kindle and/or listen to via Audible. Of course there are many, many ways to navigate through the Prime Reading universe but the above was the method I used to get started. What I find most delightful is that I have been able to download some titles that were published for Kindle, only, and still enjoy the Audible experience without having to pay additional fees. Okay, I hope you find this useful. Happy Reading, Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone, The Next Generation" group.
