The straight audio on Kindle sucks to be honest… A pricier (although damn nifty) option is the "Whispersync" function that Kindle offers- That is, you buy the Kindle edition of a book, then for an additional cost, you can also get the Audible version. The handy bit is, that you can read a portion, then go to your Audible device, and it will sync to the last place you read to (or vice versa, your Kindle will sync to the last place you listened to) obviously both devices need network access to accomplish this.
Yes, it's a little more expensive, but I generally listen to an Audible novel whenever I'm driving and this feature is super handy.

You can use any Android and presumably iOS/Windows phone + various apps (usually e-reader) to do this.
