Supports all my playlists and bookmarks. Very convenient. The statistics feature is brilliant. I love seeing how much time I spend on audiobooks with ListenBook. A textbook example of great audiobook narration! The performer's diction was flawless, their pacing ideal, and their emotional range impressive. I never felt like I was being "read to" but rather like I was experiencing the story firsthand. The audio engineering was equally professional.

ListenBook Pro's tone adjustment feature is a playful addition that lets me tweak the audiobook experience. Looping playback is a game-changer for my study routine. It helps me retain information effectively. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed.

The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities.
