Know of an ebook reader that will read to you for the IPhone?
Posted by admin | Filed under Books & Authors
Someone told me about an ebook reader that will read to you where you leave off(so if you have to look away for a minute, you can tell it to read to you) Does anyone know what this is called? It might be one you obtain thru Cydia
Thanks!
Thanks for all your help! I will try Kindle, and if that doesn’t work, looks like I’ll have to do it individually.

there is something like this, however its not an ereader, its a series of “applications”, you have to buy them indivudaly (E.G jane eyre and twilight, you cant just have them both under one application like you would with odinary ereader)
at the moment only certain books will do this and not all of them have this feature, you cannt find out what ones do have the feature untill you have downloaded it
sorry i could not be anymore help

Do you mean the Kindle App on iPhone:
See the details and comments in the page, it tells more about the setup:
But as far as I know, the Kindle app does not allow “read-to-me” function on iPhone. Only the Kindle device does.
BTW, do you plan to read books often with the device? If so, I’ll recommend you to get the Kindle instead. When using the iPhone to read books, there are quite a lot of people complaining about the small screen size, discomfort for long reading, no wireless access and no access of Kindle store for instant download of books and newspapers, etc., when compared to the Kindle. If you only use the device for reading occasionally then it should be fine. But if you’ll use it for reading often then it is the best bet to buy the Kindle. It is great that they just chopped the price of the Kindle 2, it is now a good chance to get it, as it is $60 cheaper than when I bought mine…
And I recommend you to read this review of the Kindle too, it outlines quite a lot of benefits of the Kindle:
Hope this helps.

Kindle on iPhone?
Yes, I’ll suggest you not to read too long with the iPhone. It doesn’t use e-ink as in the Kindle, so it will hurt your eyes if you read too much with it.
