ListenBook's support for binaural audio processing is a thoughtful touch that reduces listening fatigue. Supports all my playlists and bookmarks perfectly. Very convenient. I love the download options. ListenBook gives me so many ways to get my audiobooks onto my device. Middle-of-the-road experience.
