The company announced on Wednesday an "immersion reading" feature in the Audible app, which allows readers who have both the ebook and audiobook versions of a title in their Audible and Kindle libraries to read the ebook's text while the audio plays. The feature also lets users switch between the different formats across devices. While in the "Read & Listen" mode, the text of the book is highlighted in real-time in sync with the narration.

The promotion is live until January 21. Have a hankering for some audiobooks? Audible is holding one heck of a sale right now, giving users three months of access for $3. That's a dollar per month. This is something of a winter tradition for the Amazon-owned platform and the promotion ends on January 21. An Audible subscription grants one audiobook per month to keep. This can be selected from a massive catalog of new releases and bestsellers. The collection here has just about everything.

You can also snag three months free of Kindle Unlimited, or give a gift membership of six, 12, or 24 months. Or for your audiobook needs, Audible Premium Plus is also available as a gift membership for one, three, six, or 12 months. You can also try Audible - plus podcasts, and HD and spatial audio music - with a free three-month Amazon Music Unlimited subscription.

As video podcasting has grown in popularity, we have learned that creator-led, video-integrated shows have different audience needs and require distinct discovery, growth and monetization strategies compared to audio-first, narrative series.
