Kindle Muzac...!!

Musical backing tracks as you are reading your Kindle and letting your imagination create "your" full colour pallet... And they want to put their muzac into the programme...

WHY...!!

My kindle doesn't play music, but then it doesn't have any speakers.

How would this even work? How would it match to the pace of your reading? Sounds ridiculous to me. I can't listen to music and read at the same time - I prefer to give full attention to either.

This is a proposal, reported on radio 4 yesterday, that the next generation of Kindles could include speakers and the publishers idea of back ground muzac to genericly accompany the chapters....

My kindle (not new version - has keyboard) has speakers and a basic MP3 player. Never used it though...

I have various audio books for long car journeys... If they added muzac it would go out of the window...

Do we have to have tinkling trash behind everything now?

Nick Cave's 'The Death of Bunny Munroe' has a little bit of mood music.. not all the way through, but I think it added to it but then he is the musician as well as the auther so it's his idea of the experience...and that was a talking book

However, I can't see it working with a 'written' word version ie: Kindle... the music would have to be on a loop wouldn't it? till it knew you had moved onto the next page/chapter? Sounds like a rubbish idea to me

It strikes me as the kind of obvious idea that comes up over and over again. No doubt there was once a marketing idea to sell an accompanying soundtrack cassette for paperback books...

Is it not possible to turn the music off?
