Kindle e-readers in Canada now support Bluetooth connectivity
In the realm of e-readers, the question of Audible's availability on Canadian Kindles has been a topic of interest. While it remains unclear if Audible will indeed grace Canadian Kindles, enabling Bluetooth might be a preliminary step towards that goal.

Recent updates from Amazon have seen the inclusion of Bluetooth functionality on Kindle e-readers in Canada. This development opens up possibilities for useful functions such as VoiceView and Bluetooth page-turners. However, the use cases for Canadians with Bluetooth on Kindles are underwhelming due to the lack of Audible audiobook support.
Audible, a popular service for audiobooks, has been available in Canada for close to a decade. Yet, it's not accessible via Bluetooth on Canadian Kindles due to regional restrictions set by Amazon. This limitation also affects other regions like Australia, where similar restrictions apply[1].
Despite this setback, Amazon continues to improve other audio-related features on Canadian Kindles. For instance, the Assistive Reader with text-to-speech feature, which works with Bluetooth headphones, has been added. However, this functionality reads e-books aloud rather than playing audiobooks from Audible[5].
In conclusion, Audible via Bluetooth on Canadian Kindles is currently disabled due to regional restrictions set by Amazon[1]. Audible Bluetooth playback is available on Kindles in the US but not in Canada. No announced plans have emerged yet to enable Audible Bluetooth support on Canadian Kindles. Amazon continues to improve other accessibility audio features on Canadian Kindles[5].
If you're a Canadian Audible enthusiast, your best bet for now would be to listen to audiobooks via other devices such as smartphones or tablets that support Audible’s Bluetooth playback[3].
