Listening to audiobooks has become my guilt-free indulgence, and I love it. The drag-and-drop download feature on ListenBook is incredibly convenient – no more complicated processes. I love the ability to share my progress with friends. It’s a fun feature. Middle-of-the-road experience. The audiobook was fine—good narration, decent story—but it didn’t leave a lasting impression. If you’re looking for something low-commitment, this works. The narrator's voice took some getting used to - a bit nasal at first - but I grew to like it after a few chapters. Their pacing was excellent throughout.
