3.7 Listening to Audio Materials

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

purchase, transfer, and 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 any of your reading material (where allowed by the rights holder). (For information

about transferring audiobooks or MP3 files to your Kindle, see Chapter 8.)

AUDIOBOOKS

On your Home screen, your audiobooks list the title and author, but they also have the
word “audio” 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.
