Any additional comments?

I just discovered Whispersync. It's very cool. They have a video explaining how it works. if you buy both the audio and kindle ebook you can read the book and then go back to the audiobook and it will leave off exactly where you left off and vice versa.

When you own the Whispersync for Voice-ready Kindle book and the Audible audiobook, you can switch between reading and listening without losing your place. Or you can read and listen at the same time on Kindle Fire HD.
