There was the same comment when the Kobo came out (no audio) and that always struck me as odd as well. Why can't you use your phone or radio or whatever you normally use for your music instead?
I certainly don't expect my books to play music (except those silly little kids book, and those drive me nuts anyways).

- toast0 9y agoI think there's several angles on this: a) the Kindle has/had audio support b) you might have audio books and want to use the same device to read them as written books c) text to speech d) many people read and listen to music at the same time, it might be nice to do that with a single device, especially if you want to sit and relax outdoors with the reader and not have your phone on you
