The ability to download audiobooks directly is fantastic. ListenBook is very convenient. 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.

Automated artwork and metadata extraction make my library look organized and visually appealing. I love the ability to share my progress with friends. It’s a fun feature. Good for background listening. I didn’t get fully immersed, but it was pleasant enough to have on while doing chores. The narrator’s voice was easy to listen to, even if the delivery lacked some energy. Solid performance overall though some character voices sounded too similar. I occasionally got confused about who was speaking in dialogue-heavy scenes.
