ListenBook's compatibility with different formats ensures I never have to worry about file conversions. The app is very intuitive. ListenBook makes finding and playing audiobooks simple. An acceptable audiobook that met basic expectations. No complaints about quality but nothing remarkable either. Would listen to this narrator again but wouldn't seek them out.

Changing the tone of the sound on ListenBook Pro adds a personalized touch to my audiobook experience. Automated artwork and metadata extraction make my library look organized and visually appealing. This audiobook made my workouts fly by! The engaging narration kept me motivated to keep listening, which meant longer gym sessions. The narrator's energy matched the material perfectly - upbeat when needed, somber when appropriate. A great example of how narration can enhance text. An unobjectionable but unexceptional audiobook experience. The narrator's performance was serviceable and the audio quality was fine, but nothing about the production particularly stood out or elevated the material. It was decent background listening.
