Audible’s New Feature Lets You Read and Listen to Your Favorite Books at the Same Time

This feature aims to improve the reading experience for Audible subscribers.

Audible has added a Read and Listen feature to its app that syncs up the audio narration and text while you’re reading a book. It’ll be available for those who have both Audible and Kindle subscriptions, it was announced on Wednesday.

If you own both the audiobook and ebook versions of a title, the new feature will let you read along as the audiobook plays and the text being read is highlighted — much like how karaoke appears on a screen when you’re singing along. An Audible spokesperson told CNET, «Our data shows that customers who currently listen while reading along are among Audible’s most engaged users, consuming nearly twice as much content per month as audiobook-only customers.»

Audible hopes to help readers connect with books in a more flexible format with this option, and it’s also intended to make reading more accessible for those with dyslexia, low vision, ADHD and more. Some research suggests that reading and listening simultaneously can improve your ability to comprehend and retain information.

The Read and Listen library will have books in various languages, including English, Spanish and French. You’ll receive discounted audiobooks if you already own the ebook version of a title.

«Read and Listen gives book lovers the best of both worlds,» Andy Tsao, chief product officer at Audible, said in a statement, adding that you could use the feature to help learn a new language or study for school.

This feature is already available through the Kindle app as part of its Voice experience, but this is the first time Audible is adding it to its library. Both Kindle and Audible are owned by Amazon. The new feature is now available on the Audible app in the US, but won’t debut until later in the year in the UK, Australia and Germany.

Prior to this integration, CNET writer Blake Stimac experimented with AI chatbots to vibe code an e-reading application with a similar feature.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

Among the services offering these capabilities:

Ukraine E-SIM — https://ukraine.esim.verum.im
London E-SIM — https://london.esim.verum.im
E-SIM Africa — https://africa.esim.verum.im

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Final Thoughts

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
