worst editing ever

I cant believe how much I paid for such a low quality reading.
The editing is maddening.

Horrible technical recording. Overall still good dollar value per hour of play time.

Every minute or two, the audio gets smashed up and skips backward or forward 1 to 3 seconds. Over the course of 120 hours of reading, this amounts to a lot of missed time that often disrupts important moments. This is audio that is entirely missing, not any sort of bluetooth glitching.

Mostly good

Many books that I have read before, either on paper, e-reader or audiobook. Some I never heard of. Overall a good telling. However, the audio skipped, jumped and stuttered. Glad I heard this one. A good telling overall.

editing made me return this

i have no idea if the stories are any good. i couldnt stand the constant repeating of words due to bad editing. Every 4-5 minutes the reader will repeat 1-5 words 1-5 words. Its really hard to listen to.

Good stories. Totally unacceptable editing

I'm into the 2nd book (20,000 Leagues Under The Sea), and due to the constant audio stuttering, skipping, and repeating in the first two books, it's a struggle to finish both books. When the 2nd book finishes, I will remove this series from my device
