Rush hour on the subway, phone in her pocket. She asks out loud, and the book stops to answer.

Just say it

While a book plays, say your question. There is no button to find; the reading stops to hear you.
The question and the answer show in a small window above the controls, read in another voice. Pull it up to see the whole conversation.
For eight seconds after an answer you can follow up. Say “got it”, or stay quiet, and the book goes back five seconds and carries on.

Good to know

Things you could ask out loud

Said out loud while listening to Shoe Dog
Why did his father call it jackassing around?

He thought the shoe business was a lark, not a serious career. He hadn't sent his son to Oregon and Stanford to become a door to door shoe salesman, and he didn't want to keep lending money year after year.

The other features

Ask the book

Answers come from this book only, never the web. If it isn't in there, it says so. The answer comes first.
