Audible for Android: Daily App Pick

Posted By Gina Smith in App Picks, Archive, Books

BreakingModern — If you want to read a book but your eyes and hands are otherwise engaged, you owe it to yourself to check out Audible for Android. The latest version out on Google Play is free and gives you access to 150,000 plus titles, includes the Audible Newsfeed to find out about author events and lets you listen and download at the same time. It’s also available on Apple iOS.

Audible for Android also supports the Whispersync for Voice feature on Amazon Kindle devices. And the latest version — that’s Audible for Android 1.5.7 — has fewer bugs and is quite a bit more stable than previous versions. It also includes new capabilities. Using its new library filter, you can now archive books you finish. It allows automatic delivery of the magazines and digital magazines you subscribe, too. And, lastly, you can now see details of your audio books when you play them on Bluetooth devices like your car stereo system or smart watch.
