I love my Kindle, but it isn’t always within arm’s reach. Like a lot of readers, I don’t just use one device; I use whichever one fits my context. I often read on an eReader, but via the Kindle app, I’m also highly likely to finish a chapter on my phone in the grocery store or listen to an epilogue in the car.
That’s where Whispersync comes in.

Sometimes my Paperwhite is charging on the nightstand, sometimes my Scribe is buried under a stack of notebooks, and sometimes my smaller Kindle is tucked in a travel bag I forgot to unpack. Amazon’s syncing feature makes sure I never lose my place, no matter which Kindle I grab. I can jot down annotations on the Scribe in the morning and pick up the basic model in bed at night without scrolling around to relocate my spot.
