3.8 Listening to Audio Materials

There are three types of audio materials that you can listen to on your Kindle. You can

listen to audiobooks from Audible.com, transfer MP3 files from your computer to play

as background music while you read, or turn on Text-to-Speech in your reading

material (where allowed by the rights holder). Due to their large file size, audiobooks

you purchase in the Kindle Store can only be transferred wirelessly to your Kindle using

Wi-Fi. Alternatively, you can purchase and download audiobooks from the Kindle Store

using your computer’s Internet connection and then transfer them to your Kindle using

USB. (For information about transferring audiobooks or MP3 files from your computer

to your Kindle, see Chapter 8.)

Audiobooks

On your Home screen, your audiobooks list the title and author, but they also have the

word "audible" next to the title to indicate that they are audiobooks. To listen to one of

your audiobooks, select it from your Home screen. You will see a page similar to the

one shown below. Kindle provides a standard set of controls that are explained below.
