Audible vs Smart Audiobook Player

You have the ability to go 30 seconds back in your listening with only the push of a button. Very convenient when listening to podcasts or audiobooks.

By linking Amazon and Audible accounts, the Amazon Family sharing can be used to sync an Audible library across Android devices, PCs, and computers. Everyone on the Amazon Family group can see audiobooks, and the owner of the Audible account can pick and choose which individual audiobooks are shared and which aren't, if desired.

Users can tap the "car" option in Audible to get a simplified user interface which makes playing, pausing, and rewinding audiobooks easier while driving.

Option to shorten dead space between words. (Allows for faster playback without it sounding like chipmunks.)

Especially if you pay for Pro which gives you cloud sync for your position - so it's easy to restore and pick up listening even if you switch phones. Even if you don't pay, your position is stored in a file inside the book folder which you can easily copy.

Goes back up to 30 seconds depending on how long the last pause was.

So many customization features: playback position format, equalizer, playback speed, headset button actions, sleep length, skip lenghts, and more.

If your book doesn't have cover art, the app can search for it for you.

Just leave the sleep timer set to 20 minutes and leave it on all the time. If you are walking or driving, it stays playing, but if you are listening in bed, it turns off on its own. If you are still listening, just give your phone a shake when you hear it start to fade and it will keep going for 20 more minutes.

The author only profits from a better listening experience, not from user lockin due to no other place to get books.

Written notes with a timestamp in the file, organized according to book (i.e., folder).

Copy your audio files into a folder, and this will assemble them into books based on the folder they're in.
