At this year's New York International Auto Show there were more than just new BMW models to get excited about. Another impressive feature unveiled by BMW included the iDrive equipped with a special app that allows drivers to have access to their audio books. This is a pretty neat development in the world of automotive technology that we feel is definitely worth exploring.
Thanks to the partnership BMW formed with Audible.com, which is now owned by Amazon, drivers will be able to plug their smartphones into a USB port, or into a dock connector available for new BMW models, to then have access to a number of apps while driving. The latest book you were reading on your Kindle can now be available for easy listening right from the comfort of your BMW vehicle.
There's more innovation to add to this app's convenience as well. The Whispersync for Voice technology allows for any Amazon eBook to be bookmarked where you last left off reading or listening to a particular novel even when you change between devices. To use this feature you have to purchase the Kindle eBook and Audible book, but when they are available at a discounted price when bought together. To take this feature on the go, Whispersync for Voice is compatible with the Audible app on both Apple and Android devices, in addition to the Kindle or Kindle app.
