App for Audio Books
What app do you use to listen to audio books on your iPad or iTouch?

I have been using Eddy which I like but lacks the ability to remember where you stopped or to set a bookmark.

My requirements (wish list) are.
Ability to download files (books) from Dropbox and/or Google Drive.
Fast-forward or reverse by 15 or 30 second intervals.
Remember where you stopped in the middle of a file or set a bookmark.

App doesn't have to be free. I don't mind paying a bit if the app does all or most of the above and is easy to use.

Thanks.

iTunes works fine. I also use the audible app.

Unless I'm mistaken (quite possible iTunes and Audible do not provide downloads from DropBox. I found CloudBeat that seems to have everything I require at a reasonable price.

Greetings! Did you know that MobileRead now has an audiobook forum? You might get more responses in that forum or find some other similar discussions such as the thread link below. I mostly listen to books using Audible or several apps specific to borrowed library audiobooks.

Hi,

I think Bookmobile Audiobooks Player will do what you want. It has bookmarking, Dropbox integration and 30 second jumping.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/book...416457527?mt=8

If you have MP3s that you want to convert to audiobook format so Apple automatically saves your place, use this guide:

Haven't checked this thread for awhile. Thanks for the info, I will check into Bookmobile. CloudBeats has been working pretty good for me but I'm open to try something else.

Thanks also for the Audiobook thread.

I have gone back to Eddy. Much easier to navigate and it does have bookmark ability.
