ListenBook's audio filters are a valuable tool for customizing my audiobook playback to perfection. Looping playback is my favorite feature. It's perfect for revisiting complex content. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed. The narrator's voice was agreeable enough for extended listening, though their character differentiation could have been stronger. The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities.
