Ebibliomedia makes it possible to borrow audiobooks. Yesterday I noticed that I can download these books via the Cantook ereader app on Android and iOS. With this freedom comes a quick and convenient way to listen to audio books without worrying about losing my place.
With the website interface I could listen to a book but my progress would be lost as soon as I refreshed the page. In such a situation it makes sense to read a book one chapter at a time, and make sure to remember which chapter you have just finished.
With the cantook app you listen, pause, and then resume on another device and within a few seconds it will ask you if you want to resume from the last read position. You can also download books locally to avoid bandwidth costs if this is still an issue with some mobile phone plans.
I noticed this after returning two books that I had decided not to finish. When an app requires you to remember the chapter and progress it is discouraging. When an app requires you to press play and pause, and it does the rest, then reading an audio book is quick and convenient.
Once you are logged in to your library account, on the app, your borrowed books appear automatically. You can download epub books and audiobooks with a single click, and read.
And finally, now that I have found that borrowing, downloading, and reading audiobooks is so convenient I will read many.
