Listen to Kindle books on macBook Pro?

I have the Kindle app on my macBook Pro and would love to listen to my books. Is there anyway I can do this without the use of the Kindle device?
I tried using iTunes but it seems that the books are not stored on the macBook itself.

If you don't mind a rendition of Hamlet from Steven Hawkings, you can make any text that you're able to highlight on your mac be read back to you while hitting control space after turning on the feature in system preferences>speech>select text when the key is pressed.
Here you are also able to change the voice under "system voice". There are other English speaking voices you can install that are either novelty, male, female and or accents. Others are based on other languages.
Not sure if the kindle app has text you can highlight but I'm sure it will work if it does.

  • Any info on importing kindle format books into MacBook Pro ibook app?   Thanks!

    Any info on importing Kindle format books in an iBook app on my MacBook Pro would be much appreciated.....Thanks..

    Can't be done without stripping the DRM.  That is illegal, and can't be discussed in this forum.  If you have no DRM that's one thing.   There are several services that will convert the book format.  I've found a few on Google.

  • How do I listen to Sirius XM on MacBook Pro?

    Hello,
    I recently bought my first MacBook Pro and to be honest this is my first Mac-anything outside of an iPhone. I'm trying to listen to Sirius via Safari and I keep getting a "you need to download Flash" message in the browser. I've searched the App Store for a solution and have not found one.
    Can someone please guide me here?
    Thanks!

    Flash is from Adobe. You get it from them.
    But I suggest you get Google Chrome as Safari is tied into the OS and sometime it does thing that aren't to user friendly.

  • Address book from MacBook Pro to new 24" iMac

    Hey All..
    Just taken delivery of my new iMac 24". Absolutely amazing! However, I'm desperate to import my address book from my MacBook Pro to the new iMac. I have set my MBP into harddrive mode by pressing T on start up. If someone could tell me how to do it that'd be great.
    I am absolutely delighted with my new iMac despite being worries after reading all the disappointed customers on this site.
    Anyways, hope you guys can help as usual.
    Kindest regards..

  • Address Book on MacBook Pro does not sync with IPad or Iphone

    I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.7.4.  When I add a new address it does not sync with my IPad or IPhone.  However, adding an address on the IPad or IPhone it will appear on the IMac Pro.  I have checked to make sure that the Address Book on my IMac is directed to ICloud.  I also tried to uncheck the Address Book on ICloud, recheck and restart the computer with no success.  What am I missing?

    It just started to sync.  Forget the question.

  • Bluetooth Headphones to listen to Sirius Radio through MacBook Pro

    I want to buy headphones so I can listen to Sirius through Safari wirelessly. Too much to ask?
    Please let me know if there are headphones out there that will allow this.
    I called Apple about 6 mos ago and they didn't help me much.
    I REALLY WANT TO BUY A PAIR IF I ONLY KNEW WHICH ONES WOULD WORK!
    I have the newest MacBook Pro with Leopard... Thanks!

    I was having more or less the same problem. A few times I could hear the music from the computer, but every time I paused the music it was hard to get it working again.
    This is what I did, and it seems to be working:
    1) Delete the DS980 headset as bluetooth device.
    2) Reset the headset following the instructions on the manual (1. On/Off key for 5 seconds and then 2. Press and hold the On/Off key and the call handling key simultaneously for 5 seconds.)
    3) Pair the headset again with the computer, but this time I only selected the headphones service (and uncheck the headset service).
    4) After that I click on the Bluetooth Status on the Menu Bar, and then go to HBH-DS980, and select "use headphones". (I think this is the important part, but before resetting the headset this didn't work all the times)
    And now I can hear the music and other sounds from the computer. I hope this helps.
    I think next time I may get the iSkin Cerulean F1 + TX.

  • Transferring iPhoto book from MacBook Pro to iMac

    Hi everyone
    I am the proud owner of a new iMac. I am trying to transfer an album I started on my husband's MacBook Pro, but all I can do is to export the photos...I already imporated all my events from the MacBook to the iMac. Now, I was to save the work that i have done on the album itself. Is the transfer feasible? Tx

    By album do you mean book?  If so then you can't transfer a book from one library to another because the book is virtual, existing only in the database files of the library.
    What you can do is duplicate the library with the book and in the copy delete all photos excecpt for those in the book. Then copy the book to the other Mac and use it to complete the book.  You can copy additional photos/albums from the large library to the book library with the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager.
    This tutorial describes how to cull the library down to just the book: #9 - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

  • Address book on macbook pro isn't syncing

    Hi all,
    I just discovered that the Address Book on my MacBook Pro isn't as up-to-date as the one on my iMac. I fairly recently updated to Snow Leopard. Is there something I can do to solve this? I sort of thought that everything was supposed to sync--every Mac and mobileMe.
    Thanks so much for any help.

    It just started to sync.  Forget the question.

  • Sync from iPhone 4 to Address Book on MacBook Pro

    Hi, does anyone know how to sync my contacts from my iPhone 4 to the "address book" on my MacBook Pro? It seems like it should be a simple process, but I can only find info on how to do it with Outlook. I realize that my contacts sync via iCloud, but I would like to be able to access them on my address book on my computer.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I have done what the following says (copied and pasted from another thread) and it is still not working.
    "The sync process for contacts with a supported address book application on your computer is a bidirectional or true sync process, or should be.
    If any new contacts added on your iPhone or an edit of an existing contact does not make it to the Address Book when syncing, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder."

  • Can i read a ipad book on macbook pro?

    My local newspaper states they will release a ebook this month through itunes.  At another point in this announcement they refer to it as a ipod book.  I am interested in the subject of this future ebook and want to know if and how I will be able to read it as well as other ebooks on my macbook pro.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    If it is DRM-protected and distributed through the iTunes Store, you won't be able to read it on a Mac, only on iDevices. If not, there may be a variety of possibilities. You won't know until you learn how it is actually published and distributed.

  • Cannot sync iphone 3G contacts and address book using MacBook Pro.  What can i do?

    I have an iPhone 3G and a MacBook Pro with latest operating system.  Have also set up iCloud on Mac.  iPhone is not on IOS5.  Within the last day, the contacts disappeard from phone.  Tried to sync using itunes, including the option to copy contact content to phone.  Also powered off the phone to see if a reset would work.
    Does anyone have an idea as to how to copy / sync contacts to phone when the software does not seem interested in doing it automatically?
    Thanks

    To gain Internet access for the MacBook Pro, you will either need your own Internet service provided by an ISP or access to another Wi-Fi network that has Internet service.
    Your MBP has a built-in wireless adapter, called an AirPort Extreme Card. This adapter is able to connect to just about any Wi-Fi network available today.
    If you opt to get your own Internet service, most ISPs will provide you as a minimum an Internet modem. Some also offer a wireless version of this device. For those that do not, you will also need an Internet router (wired or combination wired/wireless) in order for your MBP's wireless to connect.

  • I lost contacts on IPHONE and in Address Book on MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    I just update my iOS5 on my iphone and my contacts are missing out of the iphone and MacBook Pro.
    I tried a restore and nothing..... did they go to ICLOUD and how do I go to the clouds to get my contacts back?
    thank you,
    angel

    If you go to itunes/settings/devices you should see the backup of your phone. This backup contains, among other data, also your contacts. But only if you made that backup before you synced your new contact and you did not sync the phone after that. If this is the situation, disable autosync in itunes, right click on the phone in the device list and choose restore from backup.
    See also: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you managed to do so, set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you sync your data to the phone again, to be able to get the "merge the data" message.

    Did you backup your mac lately? In that case you could look for the iphone backup folder and copy it back to your HD.
