Community Voices

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • If I were rich would prefer reading physical books while listening to their audiobook. But I’m not rich so physical book
  • Owning physical books is pretty expensive too, so I always read books before buying them.
  • using the audiobook to set the pace and the text to catch things your ears miss. I found it especially useful for books with a lot of data or names.
  • I focus on books that actually benefit from the use of my eyeballs—ones with charts & graphs
  • if I listened to them while doing something else, I wasn’t able to focus and didn’t really enjoy the story.
