   I like the idea of switching between reading a book and listening to it depending on where I am. Is that possible?

   Yes. This is often called immersive reading or syncing between an ebook and an audiobook, and several services support it.

   Here are the main options:

   • Amazon: If you own both the Kindle ebook and the Audible audiobook for the same title, many books support Whispersync for Voice. Your reading and listening positions stay synchronized, so you can read at home, listen while commuting, and pick up where you left off. You can learn more on Amazon's Whispersync for Voice page.

   • Rakuten: The Kobo Books app and Kobo Books support both ebooks and audiobooks, although automatic syncing between reading and listening isn't as broadly available as Amazon's implementation. Availability depends on the title and device.

   • Apple: If you buy both versions through Apple Books, you can keep both formats in one app, but seamless position syncing varies by title and isn't as comprehensive as Amazon's system.

   Many people find this approach works well because they can:

   • Read when they have quiet time.
   • Listen while driving, walking, exercising, or doing chores.
   • Continue from roughly the same point without having to remember the chapter.

   If you're thinking about starting this habit, the smoothest experience is generally Kindle + Audible with books that support Whispersync for Voice. It has the widest catalog of synchronized ebook/audiobook pairs.
