“I understand that you can have an Audible book read to you and it can be on the same page, but will it highlight the word or sentence being read? This is helpful for dyslexic students.”

I just tested this with a text book and Audible book. It didn't show the text at the same time it was being read, also the sound quality wasn't the greatest - it's better on my iPhone. I wouldn't buy this just for audio books. I've also tried to have it just read text and it doesn't seem to. This may be a book by book feature tied to copywrite agreements. You CAN however download and use the OpenDyslexia font, which is weighted differently with serifs on the bottom of each letter, which supposed to help people with dyslexia track the text better. I don't have dyslexia so I can't tell you if it's helpful.

Syncing titles between multiple devices is available on both borrowed and purchased titles. To experience immersion reading you can use the Audible player in Kindle apps, titles must be purchased.
