Audible vs Scribd in our news:
2018. Audible brings its audiobook library to the Apple Watch
Amazon-owned audiobook platform Audible has just launched its Apple Watch app. You can listen to audiobooks and manage your library directly from the compact screen. It’s a logical advancement for the service, considering the emphasis Apple has placed on smartwatch audio, with last year’s introduction of an LTE version of the watch and the recent unveiling of a native podcasting app for the platform. This also contributes to justifying the recent addition of Aaptiv fitness routines, which Audible integrated a few weeks ago. The feature made some sense on the phone, but bringing the course directly to a fitness/health-oriented device like the Apple Watch helps complete that vision. Those workout and meditation resources are free to Audible users until September of next year.
2014. Scribd adds notes and highlights to its reading app
Ebook subscription leader Scribd has just enhanced the reading experience. It updated its iOS and Android mobile reader apps with some exciting new features. First is highlighting—you can mark your favorite passages, paragraphs and quotes and share them with your friends. You can also add notes, annotations and ideas as you read. The third new feature is Image Zoom, which allows you to zoom in on maps and other illustrations for a closer look. Your notes, highlights and bookmarks automatically sync across all your mobile devices and you can view them on a per-book basis.
