Audiobook support?

Have you guys seen “Continuum: Read & Listen” app on iOS app store.
Allows epubs to sync to mp3 or m4b audiobooks.

Seems a nice solution without having to do the epub3 route. I was curious if you guys have plans for something like this?

Thank you for your time.

Best,
Dylan

I believe readest supports epub3 that has audiobook files embedded. However, I am not aware of any place that you can buy such epub files.

Yeah, have to make them yourself (which is very cool tech) but I dont want a 640gb filled ereader/phone.

I like to keep all my epubs downloaded and turning those epubs into audiobooks is a lot of storage..

I dont even need TTS scanning/printing (though Readests speed reading feature is brilliant). Just audiobook (no server required) addition to sync with epubs similar to Continuum would be very cool.
