I’m a huge fan of audiobooks. I listen them them like some people listen to music while working or driving.
That said, I understand your issue, there are some books I’ve started that I have, let’s say archived, until I get the book as I’m having a hard time following along. (Not WoT related, different books)
Kindle-Audible do a thing called Whisp-sync. You have to buy the Kindle book and the Audible audiobook separately. (A lot of time the audiobook is heavily discounted if memory serves me correctly). And you download the kindle book and then in kindle you download the audiobook. It follows along with the text. Not all books have Whisp-sync tho. (But WoT does).
Might not be your thing either but it might be an answer to your question.
It doesn’t happen in WoT but as avid Audible uses, I give this warning:
sometimes they change narrative between books. (Sometimes multiple times - not as common) So if this gets your hooked on audiobooks, you are forewarned as it can be incredibly frustrating!
