Nokia AudioBooks beta

Well, another day, another beta app. This one's a little different, though. It helps you do something we all wish for: reading books without actually having to read them.
Audiobooks are sound files with a voice reading the text of the book. Basically, you can buy audiobooks or download public ones. The Nokia apps will do the rest. For detailed info, go to: http://www.nokia.com/betalabs/audiobooks


You can convert wav and mp3 files to play in the phone counterpart application. The resulting format is awb. I found the sound quality very good considering that the resulting file is about 8 times smaller than the original.


The on-phone program works like a media player. You have volume control, FF, RW, play/pause.
Interesting features:
-possibility to add a cover image for the book
-possibility to add bookmarks for quick visiting later
-possibility to resume listerning where you left off
