Using My Kindle as an MP3 Player

• Related • Filed Under •

Amazon Kindle

I have a Kindle Ebook Reader. It has become a part of me. I use it several hours each day–now even more. I recently  downloaded MP3 Bible study Breaking Free by Beth Moore (excellent study! see review below).

To listen to the audios at night involved dragging my computer into my bedroom. No more! Now I can listen to any MP3 book with the Kindle on my nightstand.

Kindle comes with an MP3 option for music listening as you read–but in my experience it worked lousy for audio books, I could only listen and not fast forward or rewind. And I had to start over if I paused .

But then I learned the secret. If I upload my MP3 into the Audible folder I have the option to fast forward, pause, rewind, etc. just like on an MP3 player. Yooo Hooo!

I use the MP3 feature daily now while cleaning the kitchen, when I go to bed, etc. If I’m not listening I’m reading.

Did you Know You Can Tweet on a Kindle?

You don’t need a fancy phone . Just Log in to Twitter with your Kindle to leave a Tweet.

FREE DOWNLOAD STUDIES

I also download and listen to free Podcasts on the Kindle. I can upload any of these studies in MP3 free: (If you don’t have a Kindle, you can listen on your computer or MP3 player)

  1. Dwight Pryor (Hebrew Roots)
  2. Nancy Leigh Demoss’ Revive Our Hearts
  3. Beth Moore on Life Today,
  4. God Journey Podcast
  5. Baxter Kruger at Perichoresis.org
  6. Charles Stanley
  7. and many more (by speaker or Bible topic) from Oneplace.

Kindle is much more than an EBook reader. You can do all these things ANYWHERE, in the car, doctor office, restaurant, plane, etc. It’s always wirelessly connected with no monthly fee. The Kindle has been an super investment for this book worm.

  1. Read books
  2. Buy and download books in one minute (get thousands of books free)
  3. Upload Heart of Wisdom Ebooks to Kindle (via Kindle email)
  4. Browse the Internet (limited, like on a cell phone but bigger)
  5. Check your email (with Google email)
  6. Listen to audio books
  7. Listen to podcasts
  8. Listen to music as you read.

Powerful life changing study from selected passages in the Book of Isaiah draws parallels between the captive Israelites and today’s Christian in order to show how to make freedom in Christ a daily reality.

Beth starts the book by identifying the Five Benefits of the Christian life that God desires for us to enjoy and then lists the five obstacles in our lives that keep us from fully enjoying them.

Five Benefits:

  1. To Know God and Believe Him
  2. To Glorify God
  3. To find satisfaction in God
  4. To experience God’s peace
  5. To enjoy God’s presence

Five Obstacles:

  1. Unbelief
  2. Pride
  3. Idolatry
  4. Prayerlessness
  5. Legalism

Quotes from the Book

“Why do we have such difficulty believing God could love those we perceive as good and those we perceive as bad with the same unfailing love?  Because we relentlessly insist on trying to humanize God.  We tend to love people according to how they act, and we keep trying to re-create God in our image.”
“. . .the Word of God uses the phrase “unfailing love” 32 times, and not once is it attributed to humans.  Every single use of the phrase refers to God and God alone.  As rich as the love others can extend, only God’s love is unfailing”.

    :razz: Oh, you make me want to get a Kindle! I have toyed with the idea since they started teasing me thru emails that it was coming! But I LOVE my library of books on my shelves at home so much! Imagine our grandkids, they wont need bookshelves! I use my ipod for all my audiobooks, podcasts, etc. Is integrated thru the house. But I am so glad you are using your kindle to its fullest! I know I will be looking VERY closely at the next version! Happy reading! ….and Listening!

    I’ve never heard of a Kindle until today. I’ve been looking for something to play audio books on that I can hook up to my car’s sound system. Would this work well for this, or do you have another suggestion?

    I’ve been reading with my Kindle 2 for the past month and I absolutely love it. I haven’t used the mp3 feature very much, but after reading your post I’m beginning to wonder why!I think I’ll transfer a few songs to my Kindle tonight!

    By the way, I’ve been looking for some good Christian resources to recommend on my Kindle site (KindleChat.com). Do you know of any good books available for the Kindle that I should add?
