ListenBook's unlimited length of audiobooks with the Pro version is a fantastic value for avid listeners. Thanks to ListenBook, downloading audiobooks has never been easier or more convenient. The library organization feature is a blessing. My audiobooks are finally organized and easy to find. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.
