hi cozy friends 🤍🧺 what is your favorite format to read - physical, ebook, audio?? 🎧📖thank you for watching and happy reading ✨
I’ll start!! my fave reading format is ebook but it’s sooo nice to be able to listen to my ebooks on audio when I am cleaning 🧹🧺✨
This is so helpful! I haven’t heard of this function before, but it will make reading on my kindle so much easier. I personally love audiobooks a lot because I’m a slow reader 😅
love love reading on my kindle
I like the ebook but like the audiobook when I’m relaxing in my bed at night.
Ebook by far. I always have at least have 3 ebooks on the go sll different genres. Also I've stopped tracking my reading this year.
I am so happy to know this... there are a few books that I don't have audiobook for. I use to only read physical books, then I tried audiobooks for fantasy only.. then once I started with everything audiobook... I'm Hooked!!! I still like to read a physical book, but I crochet, cross stitch, & quilt so I love having the option to do both . thank you for this video. :)
omg a fellow crafty reader! I love to knit and crochet! it’s sooo fun to be able to craft and listen to a book at the same time 🫶🏻🧶 thank you for watching!
I am so disappointed yet SO happy at the same time! Why are you just now popping up on my homepage?! Reading & Knitting are my fav hobbies, along with crocheting, as well! Subscribed! 🩷 I’ve come to really like immersive reading recently.
omg this is the sweetest comment 🤍 sooo glad I crossed your path now, so much more cozy hobby content to come!! thank you for joining my cozy corner, it’s so fun to find cozy friends that share my hobbies!!🧺🫶🏻
So dumb that they didn't just enable Text to Speech on Kindles with Audio capability. It used to be really easy to activate.
there really should be a more accessible way to initiate accessibility features. I like that after you’ve turned it on once though you can turn it off and back on by triple clicking the home button though.
I’ve been trying to figure this out for ages! Thanks for your detailed video, now I’m listening to my kindle book while doing some chores around the house!
that’s so amazing, so glad I could help you!! that is the first thing I did too 🧹🧺 what are you reading? 📖
You can also use the Alexa app to read books to you as well. 😊
so awesome 👏🏻👏🏻 thank you for watching!!
If you have both the audiobook and the kindle version, the experience is so much better for me. I wish I could do immersive reading on the kindle with audiobooks I already have, but unfortunately with audiobooks you have to choose one or the other. On the app it works perfectly. I’ve tried this feature, and while I am definitely happy that it is there for those that require it or like to use it, I couldn’t get used to the voice. To be fair, I sometimes have that issue with normal audiobooks as well, so it is entirely a preference thing. I am glad that this feature worked for you!
I completely see where you are coming from. it can be really hard to follow along sometimes especially during dialogue because of the voice not giving context through emphasis, emotion, or punctuation. but still a helpful tool!
Such a helpful tip!!! Happy reading to you as well ❤
thank you!! 🌞✨
This was so helpful! I managed to make it work on my iphone. Thanks for the help 😃

tysm for this omg
so glad it helped you 🫶🏻
AMAZING! Thank you🙏
I thought so too!! thank you for watching 🤍💫
Hi Morgan, Looks like you put a lot of effort into your content. Your next investment should be an external wireless mic. Nothing kills a good video quite as quickly & thoroughly as bad echoey audio. Lots of potential here so keep it up!
On the iPhone, you can also change the voice to one of the enhanced voices and it sounds much better. I use this feature when I am reading because I have a form of ADHD also a reading and spelling disability and this just helps me to stay even more focused on the book and I just follow along as it reads and also for me, it just seems like it brings the book more to life, my imagination is just better I guess.
yesss the enhanced and premium voices sound so much more realistic than the robotic sounding voices. I use the Matilda Australian Premium voice! 🌞
thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience and insight 🫶🏻💫
thank you so much!
eee glad I could help! thank you for watching, happy reading!!📖🤍
Thank you so much ❤
glad it helped you, thank you for watching 🌞
Outstanding thank you! I'll figure out Android function
thank you for watching and good luck!! let me know if it works!
@@morganunraveled on my Android I went to settings and accessibility, scroll down to services and turn on Select to Speak. This puts a speaker icon on your screen, when you tap it, select to speak opens a player window over your screen and reads, pauses, forward, etc. but it locks you on that screen. You have to turn it off to move around. You'll know when it's active because a green banner will be active around your screen. I haven't figured out the voices, but I'm currently using it on my LG Wing android cell phone with the Kindle app. I hope this helps.
I enjoy this video very much then.
thank you for watching! 🫶🏻
Please correct me if I am wrong but I don't think this works for older generations. I have an old gen 7 and I'm not able to find the feature. It does work on my iPhone though! Thanks for sharing :) Another tip is to change the voice, I like Samantha and Alex!
Hopefully it still syncs your page with your device for when you listen on your phone! 🎧 I like using the Zoe enhanced premium voice, or the Matilda Australian enhanced voice!
for some reason i can’t connect to the bluetooth device through my kindle. it comes up then i hold two fingers down on the screen and nothing happens 😩 such a shame because this is so useful!!
hi abbie, thank you for watching!! I had to disconnect my headphones from my phone before it would pair with my kindle! I hope that works for you, otherwise highly recommend trying it on your phone! it syncs w the kindle app and is easier 📖🎧
Can you please 🙏 do a 10 month review of the kindle
thank you for watching, I actually just did! my video just before this one is my follow up review after having my kindle for almost a year. I chat about how I almost exclusively read on kindle now and how I get free ebooks. it’s linked in the description. 💗
I’ve been doing this for a while on iPhone. Think they got wise to it tho as some books go from scroll to page turning mode & will only read the one page as soon as voiceover is used. It really annoying to use & hard to turn the page in voiceover mode. I gave up
hm I haven’t experienced that! sometimes it doesn’t turn the page if I accidentally pull down my notifications or something!
Have you tried the Alexa app on android or apple. Alexa will read to you any kindle ebook you Own. It sounds a little better than the kindle version. If you want to change the speed just say "Alexa read quicker"
I don’t have an Alexa and never thought I needed one but omg that’s really neat, I may have to reconsider!! 👀
My main form of reading is audiobooks. I love listening to audiobooks. How about you? Do you like listening to audiobooks?
my primary reading format is ebooks! I think that’s why this trick was so helpful for me, since reading on audio is usually supplemental to my reading time but not my usual go-to as I can struggle to maintain focus unless my hands are busy with chores or my knitting, but audiobooks are so awesome and such a fun way to read when I am doing other things! 👏🏻💫
I liked all reading forms then.
me too!! no bad way to read! 📖
TH-cam has many full length audio books.
I need to look into that!! 🌟
I’ve been doing this on my phone for ages now, but for some reason it suddenly stopped letting me listen. I then used the Alexa app to read out my kindle books to me that worked great for a while and now that won’t work either 😢
But if it works for you the Alexa route is great because you can control it when your phone is on the Lock Screen x
that’s so curious! once I had to turn the feature off and back on for it to respond. yeah the major downside of listening to books this way is having to stay in the app unlike a typical audiobook but it’s still a helpful tool for me!📚
I tried your instructions and gestures on my kindle and scribe. Doesn't work. The gesture does not initiate screen reading. I can connect bluetooth, activate screen reading and navigate but no such screen reading occurs at all. What a waste. Would have been a very helpful tool.
the gestures in this video may only work on the Kindle Paperwhite! maybe look up the gestures for your devices text to voice feature :) otherwise I hope the iphone trick works for you - it’s much less tricky.
The most natural voice on your iPhone kindle app is “siri voice 2”.
I had been using Zoe Enhanced until I read this comment and tried out your suggestion of Siri voice 2, and omg you’re so right. way more natural inflection to her voice!! thank you!! 💫🫶🏻

how does this work on android anyone?
there is a comment on this post from user Memphis Jones who shared how they did it on their android, I will paste it here: “on my Android I went to settings and accessibility, scroll down to services and turn on Select to Speak. This puts a speaker icon on your screen, when you tap it, select to speak opens a player window over your screen and reads, pauses, forward, etc. but it locks you on that screen. You have to turn it off to move around.
You'll know when it's active because a green banner will be active around your screen. I haven't figured out the voices, but l'm currently using it on my LG Wing android cell phone with the Kindle app. I hope this helps.”
Hope this information helps you!
The phone hack is great but on the kindle it’s awful lol
they really need to make some improvements to it! its really difficult to navigate, even as a sighted person. it is not very intuitive and feels quite inaccessible. I wanted to mention it in case it helps anyone but I likely will only be using this trick on my phone. there’s also more voice options on the iphone which is awesome!
thankfully the kindle app syncs between the phone and the kindle device! so I can listen on my phone then pick up where I left off on my kindle when I am ready to read with my eyes again 🤗
