iPhone Audiobooks HQ: Free for a limited time

kyteflyer · 09-12-2015, 05:38 PM

From INkstone Software (remember Megareader?) Its an audiobook app which gives you access to over 9K free audiobooks (I have not checked quality) and over 100k premium books.

I'm posting before I even use it because the minute I opened it I noticed it had picked up the audiobooks I have on board which are in with iBooks and I thought perhaps one or more of you who became as frustrated and annoyed as I did, might be interested to give it a whirl. IN the end, I suspect it will be worth paying for. But... right now... as I type... its free. The time is limited, go get it and decide for yourself if its worth the effort.

REally enjoying it. It picks up where you left off in iBooks as well

Nicely designed, I think.

[edit] I've found one possible issue... no sideloading. I was hoping that this app would allow a sideload, but it doesnt. You can download from Librivox and a couple of other places, and these downloads don't insert themselves into ibooks/itunes, but your own stuff seems to need to be sent via itunes/ibooks. More research and use needed.

[edit #2] You seem to be able to buy from the iBook store from inside the app, although when I tried to get a free exerpt, it didnt seem to connect at the redirect to the store, so I won't bother.
