Audible Now Lets You Read Along with Your Kindle Books

Audible has introduced a new feature called Read & Listen, which allows users to view synchronized text while listening to an audiobook. To access this word-by-word highlighting, customers must own both the Kindle e-book and the matching audiobook in their digital libraries. This functionality aims to improve comprehension and retention, making it a valuable tool for students and language learners. While a similar technology existed on Kindle devices, this update integrates the experience directly into the Audible app. Currently available in the United States, the feature is expected to expand to other international markets in the near future. Research suggests that users who engage with both formats simultaneously consume significantly more content than those who only listen.
