How to Turn Any Kindle Book into an Audiobook

Unlock Kindle Books with Built-in TTS on iPhone/iPad: Enable Speak Screen on iOS: go to Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Speak Screen. Open your Kindle app, turn off continuous scrolling, then swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen to make your device read the book aloud. You can adjust voice, speed, and volume.

Let Alexa Read Your Kindle via Assistive Reader: Connect the Alexa app to your Amazon account, enable Kindle Assistive Reader, pick a book from your Kindle library in Alexa, and hit Play. Alexa will read it aloud — even to your Echo devices. A great hands-free, multitasking solution.

Use Android’s Text-to-Speech for a Smooth Audio Experience: On Android, use TalkBack or other accessibility TTS services to have your Kindle app read aloud. You can often pick natural-sounding voices, change reading speed, and use bookmarking so you don’t lose your place.

Activate VoiceView on Kindle Devices: Some Kindle e-readers support VoiceView, a screen reader built into the device. Turn it on in Settings → Accessibility, pair a Bluetooth speaker or headphones, and use gestures to start narration. You can control speed and navigate through pages.

Convert Kindle Books with Third-Party AI Tools: Use browser extensions or desktop/mobile apps, like Readvox, NaturalReader, or Speechify, to convert Kindle Cloud Reader books into audiobooks. These leverage AI voices for more natural narration, though DRM may pose legal/technical hurdles.

Choose Professional Narration With Audible / Whispersync: If your Kindle book supports it, you can buy the Audible Narration version and use Whispersync for Voice. This lets you seamlessly switch between reading and listening, using professional narrators for high-quality audio.

Pros, Caveats & Tips: While TTS and AI tools give flexible voice options and free listening, the voices may feel synthetic. Alexa’s voice is convenient but robotic. DRM-protected books may limit direct conversion. Keep your device awake during playback for an uninterrupted experience.
