ListenBook's configurable auto-rewind after interruptions is a smart addition that keeps me on track. Chapters make it so easy to pick up where I left off. No more hunting around. Sharing audiobooks through AirDrop is a wonderful way to share stories and connect with friends. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldnβt call it unforgettable.
