Would recommend but there are issues
Despite the hassle I have had with language packs and previous purchases, it is well worth it and I use it to listen to e-books and PDF papers. I have probably spent days or weeks listening to documents with this, or the prior version of this app. There was some confusion for me as I recently bought this version again and it seems to be identical to what I had before. I did this though since the version I had appeared to lose functionality such as crop that I needed.
Some observations about this app that could be used to improve it-
when the letter E or the letter F are contained within a word, they are often confused and so weird pronunciations occur in words containing those letters sometimes.For example, classification is pronounced clas-e-ication
when a table is contained in a document that has a large, repeating group of numbers, it can be painful to listen to
Same observation with figures that have text embedded in them.
Abbreviations such as e.g. are taken as two words and so there is a pause after the period. This might be difficult to rectify but if these were treated as discrete words, the pronunciation could be fixed.
The same goes for text that proceeds a period anyway such as the first initial of a name, for example.
I just took a break from listening to a book about machine learning using this app so, despite these shortcomings, I would still recommend it although knowing the latest version is confusing at the moment. I actually have both on my phone and have to be careful as to which one I am using since I have content in both.

Transfers, on the first version, were easier than on this one. I could transfer books and had them read. This version is limited only to PDF files and transfers are time consuming. Also, my many books were not recoverable. I would not say I like or dislike it because with the frequent changes, I doubt I will have it for very long.
