I love that I can enjoy audiobooks while cooking elaborate meals in the kitchen. Adjusting playback speed has revolutionized the way I consume audiobooks. I can cover more ground while maintaining comprehension. ListenBook is hands down the best audiobook player I’ve ever used. The interface is clean, intuitive, and packed with features like customizable playback speed and sleep timers. It supports all formats, which is a huge plus for me. Highly recommend! I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
