Us ɔıxǝןsʎp reader really need this option - nook bad, Kindle good...
Now all they need to add is a simple rear-light function - but then the Electrical Lamp Workers union would probably balk.]]>Dec 7th 2009 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/amazon-beefing-up-kindles-functionality-for-vision-impared-user/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/amazon-beefing-up-kindles-functionality-for-vision-impared-user/Dec 7th 2009 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/amazon-beefing-up-kindles-functionality-for-vision-impared-user/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/amazon-beefing-up-kindles-functionality-for-vision-impared-user/Dec 7th 2009 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/amazon-beefing-up-kindles-functionality-for-vision-impared-user/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/amazon-beefing-up-kindles-functionality-for-vision-impared-user/
Audiobooks tend to cost more than Kindle books. Check the prices of typical bestseller audiobooks. You can get the same book on Kindle for $10.

With the Kindle, you can read along, or you can let the book read to you, or you can turn off the text to speech and just read it. You can switch between modes whenever you like.

To get that functionality with audiobooks and paper books you'd need to buy both. And you'd spend precious time trying to find your place in the audiobook and the paper book whenever you tried to switch modes. Let's face it: searching on audiobooks sucks. Always has.

Why would you want to waste all that money and time when the Kindle practically pays for itself after a few novels?]]>Dec 7th 2009 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/amazon-beefing-up-kindles-functionality-for-vision-impared-user/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/amazon-beefing-up-kindles-functionality-for-vision-impared-user/Dec 8th 2009 1:25AM
