Kindle E-readers in Canada now support Bluetooth technology
The addition of Bluetooth to Kindle e-readers in Canada has sparked speculation about the potential availability of Audible on these devices. However, it's not yet clear whether this feature will lead to the official rollout of Audible on Canadian Kindles.
Kindle's Bluetooth technology allows for seamless pairing with a variety of devices, including portable speakers, wireless earbuds, headphones, and even smart televisions. But when it comes to Audible, the situation remains unclear.
Michael Kozlowski, a renowned writer who has been covering audiobooks, e-books, and e-readers for the past eighteen years, resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. According to Kozlowski, Audible has been available in Canada for close to a decade.
Despite his expertise, Kozlowski is not involved in the decision-making process regarding the availability of Audible on Canadian Kindles via Bluetooth. It's unknown who made the decision to enable Bluetooth on Kindle e-readers in Canada.
As for the current state of affairs, Audible is not yet available on Kindles via Bluetooth in Canada. However, newer models like the 10th generation and later, including the 11th and the 12th generation Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, do support Bluetooth audio for listening to Audible audiobooks once paired with headphones or wireless speakers.
However, the full experience or official support might not be universally available or fully announced yet. Amazon has not formally announced some newer Kindle models with Audible support, and features like the Assistive Reader (supporting text-to-speech via Bluetooth) have been temporarily removed or disabled, possibly indicating ongoing development and refinement by Amazon before full rollout in all regions.
It's worth noting that the text-to-speech system on Kindle e-readers is not particularly impressive, according to Kozlowski. This feature was not previously available in Canada.
The use of Audible for relaxation or exercise in Canada is not directly related to the addition of Bluetooth to Kindle e-readers in Canada. It's also unclear why Audible is not available on Canadian Kindles via Bluetooth, or whether the quality of the text-to-speech system has been improved with the addition of Bluetooth.
In conclusion, while the hardware and Bluetooth functionality exist, the rollout or official availability of Audible features on Canadian Kindles may appear limited or delayed. Amazon may be working on refining features or expanding availability, which could explain why it is not broadly accessible or well publicized at this time.
The Bluetooth technology on Kindle e-readers has expanded the devices' compatibility with various gadgets, but the accessibility of Audible remains unclear.
Michael Kozlowski, an expert in audiobooks and e-readers, resides in Canada, and yet, Audible's availability on Canadian Kindles via Bluetooth is not yet confirmed.
