I often use Amazon’s “Search Inside” feature when I want to see the text of an audiobook!

I actually prefer reading a hard copy book. The feeling of the paper between my fingers, the allowance to take a break. These are the reasons why I prefer the old way. I do however, love to listen to audio books in the car with my family. I got through the entire Harry potter series driving back and forth to visit family. They both have their advantages and dis-advantages. Thanks it was a good read.

You might want to take a look at the post on Text Synchronized Audiobooks – this is a feature that I am sure we will see expanded in the future!

In listening to non-fiction audiobooks, I miss being able to see a table of contents or visually scan a chapter. Is there a service which has text as well as audio available online? I don’t need to print it, just be able to refer to it from time to time.
