I can’t say enough about this app. I purchased a larger ebook and not having the time to read it, I searched extensively for an app that could convert to audio. I was almost ready to give up when I stumbled across P2A. I was surprised how quickly and simple it was to get the book queued up. It is detailed and the verbiage is spot on. I’ll be sharing my experience with others for sure.
