Does the Nook allow reading along with an audiobook?

This seems like a silly question, but does anyone know if it's possible to read along using a Nook (not color) ebook and audiobook?

My friend is getting one for her mother. Her mother doesn't speak English fluently, but the mother is hoping reading along with some books might help her pick it up. I've never had any ebook reader nor have I ever used an audiobook (is it just an audio file like mp3?). Does the Nook "multitask" and play both the audiobook while reading?

I can't remember exactly, but I believe so. It's been a while since I've used an original Nook but I'm pretty sure it can play an audio file while still reading a book.

Pretty sure the answer is yes. IIRC the nook comes preloaded with 2 children's books that are read a long's

errr wait im talking about the Nook color... not sure about the original nook
