The ability to highlight passages and take notes while listening is a fantastic feature. Supports a wide range of formats flawlessly. Very happy with it. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed. The narrator's voice was agreeable enough for extended listening, though their character differentiation could have been stronger. The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities.
