3.8 Listening to Audio Materials
There are three types of audio materials that you can listen to on your Kindle. You can 
purchase, transfer, and listen to audiobooks from Audible.com, transfer MP3 files from 
your computer to play as background music while you read, or turn on Text-to-Speech 
in your reading material (where allowed by the rights holder).  (For information about 
transferring audiobooks or MP3 files from your computer to your Kindle, see Chapter 
8.)
Audiobooks
On your Home screen, your audiobooks list the title and author, but they also have the 
word "audio" next to the title to indicate that they are audiobooks. To listen to one of 
your audiobooks, select it from your Home screen. You will see a page similar to the 
one shown below. Kindle provides a standard set of controls that are explained below.
