Since I last wrote the review shown below, a problem has arisen and I am still awaiting a solution. After updating to the latest version of iTunes, all my previously stored books on Vbookz disappeared. Also I can no longer reload those ebooks or other books that I converted using Stanza to iTunes. Hence I cannot get them onto either my iPad or iPhone - I purchased both versions of the vBookz app. Has anyone else run into this problem? Bottom line, my own books can no longer be read out aloud nor loaded to vBookz - and so until this is resolved I will need to downgrade this app to 2 stars! .............hopefully this is a temporary glitch.
PREVIOUS REVIEW BELOW:
I have spent many more dollars in the past for a text to speech reader but for $4 this is a steal. Had a problem converting my lit books to epub and within hours, support was able to help and get my book in a "readable" version that vBookz could read to me. Hint here is to use Stanza to make the conversion as they suggested.
It will be 5 stars next time if the excellent voice can be"taught" to modulate a little better, and learn to read chunks of text more naturally - I know that is asking a lot of a tts application that only cost $4 but I am sure the developers will continue to improve the product.
Well done so far and very worthwhile a download for those, like me, who want large books read to me on the long drives to work...
