E-book Reading Guidelines For Audio

The Sudden Impulse e-book read in audio - here's how it is done:

1. Purchase the e-book via Smashwords
2. Download the ReadEra App.
3. Upload your e-book file into ReadEra App
4. Select the 'speaker' icon/button in the top RHS of ReadEra (you can select voice type too).

NOTE: Won't work on Amazon or Kobo purchased e-books as they have code specific to their own readers. Having tested all this Smashwords is the answer imho.

The Amazon Kindle app is a free download. I had no problems with it.

I do like to have a Kindle version cos it makes it easier to search stuff.

To read the e-book yes. However, if you want to get the e-book to read in audio you need a specific reader to do this as Amazon Kindle as-yet does not have a built in audio reader. One day Amazon and Kobo will no doubt have one built in, but not presently.

Yes, but on Kindle and Kobo there is no built in audio reader and no ability to install one, no?

Not sure how I did it now, but I have used audio to read Bernt's book...but didn't like it. I can't concentrate on listening whilst doing something else, like reading posts on here.

Interesting. OK I stand corrected seemingly for Amazon Kindle it is possible then?
