How to maximize your time in the Star Wars universe with Amazon
Fortunately, there are a ton of Star Wars novels available to us Star Wars junkies so that we can all get our fix. There are many eras, characters, and adventures to choose from. We have our leisure time covered with movies, shows, video games, and books. What about time spent sitting in rush hour traffic, or on the treadmill, or at work? If you are a Kindle reader, you are in luck. Enter WhisperSync audio books. WhisperSync is Amazon’s audio version of their Kindle ebooks. No subscription required. It allows readers to seamlessly switch between reading on a Kindle device/app and listening on a mobile device (free Audible app download required). So, you can read Star Wars adventures on your Kindle before bed, and then pick up where you left off using the WhisperSync audio on your Audible app while commuting to the office. Many of our favorite Star Wars Kindle books have a WhisperSync audio edition available at a discounted price. If you own the Kindle version, the WhisperSync audio version may be available for a few dollars more, allowing you to plow through all of those fantastic Star Wars novels in record time. One nice feature of the Star Wars audio books is the sound effects. While an action sequence is being read, you may hear the snap-hiss of a lightsaber being powered on, the sizzling charge of a blaster bolt being fired, and even some of the Star Wars soundtracks.
