I accidentally discovered this a year ago. I found that listening to the audiobook and reading along with the ePub was a great way to ingest the material even when in a tired state (since the audiobook keeps playing. Having the ePub also meant I could highlight and export my highlights as usual.

I did try this with iOS built-in TTS but found it was worth the effort to find the audiobook when possible.

This is also a nice way to get used to the rhythm of a second language. Kindle will highlight sync with some audible books (in some markets, not including Canada for some reason!). Reading Kafka in German this way helped me a lot with comprehension since the tone of voice communicates a lot of connotative information.
