Which app has the best epub reading voice? Or can I convert epubs to audiobooks?

Hi,

I'm on Android...

I generally prefer listening to Audiobooks over reading epubs. However, I have a ton of epub books already so I'm looking for options. Last time I used an epub app and used the built-in reading system they sounded like a computer reading the book with mispronounced words, strange word spacing, etc.

If there's an epub reader that has a nice reader that sounds more like an actual person, I'd love to give it a try. The only real requirement is that it be able to track my progress each time I open the app, and that it have an options to speed up the reading.

Or, if there's a Free way I can convert epub files into mp3 files to use in an actual audiobook app, that'd be great too. I've found some instructions online that use Linux or Python, but I'm just a Windows user and don't know how to make those things work.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to anything.

Thanks.

Try the PocketBook app, in which you can choose dozens of voice-languages to suit your needs.

PocketBook app, but voices depend on what is installed on your/phone tablet, however it seems to use them better than Kindle App or others.

There are free ways to convert epub to MP3. Need Linux / MacOS or Windows.
