Holly in FL Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 My hubby listens to audio books on his little MP3 before bed many nights. He mostly uses LibriVox. Has anyone downloaded audio books on their Kindle from LibriVox or any other site? I'm wondering if the voice is the actual download...or, if Kindle has it's own "voice." Do you like the audio feature? Any other opinions or info? Thanks! ~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHouseHomeschool Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hi Holly, I play music on my Kindle. It sounds like a Ipod...great audio. That said, I have not tried a recorded book, but I would imagine that it would be like the music. Kindle also has a feature where you can tell it to read to you, from a regular book (not an audio book). That voice is terrible. It's a very monotone computer voice. You can always call Amazon too. They have great customer service. Chuck gave me the plain, non lit leather cover with the Kindle for Christmas. But when I used the cover, the Kindle would freeze. I called Amazon and they refunded the leather cover and then gave me a lighted one free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineinKS Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I've downloaded Audible books on my Kindle & you hear the actual audio book, it's not the automated Kindle voice that reads to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
