RE: My Favorite KINDLE APP FEATURE AND A BOOK RECOMMENDATION
Don’t you have to buy both the audible and Kindle versions to have this work? I’ve assumed that was the only way to switch like this. From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M. Taylor Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2023 11:13 PM To: VIPhone Subject: My Favorite KINDLE APP FEATURE AND A BOOK RECOMMENDATION 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 -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: My Favorite KINDLE APP FEATURE AND A BOOK RECOMMENDATION
I personally will just read the audible books, and find I have no need to mess with kindle. However, I have to second Mark's recommendation. Fairytale is an excillent book. If you haven't yet read it, then you really should. It is also available on bard for those who use that service.
