No more straining my eyes to read β now I can simply immerse myself in storytelling. The ability to download audiobooks directly is fantastic. ListenBook is very convenient. A textbook example of great audiobook narration! The performer's diction was flawless, their pacing ideal, and their emotional range impressive. I never felt like I was being "read to" but rather like I was experiencing the story firsthand. The audio engineering was equally professional. It was fine. The narrator did an adequate job but nothing about the performance particularly stood out to me. Got me through my commute though.
