I read a pretty crazy number of books every year, and I think this is great. A lot of people who are out of the habit of reading seem to feel overwhelmed when facing an entire book, but surely this feels doable for just about anyone. Maybe it could get them back in the habit of reading and create a snowball effect that gets them reading more.

Yes, that is one of the premium features. I was concerned that typical users might not know how to change their TTS settings to improve the voice, so I included a pretty substantial explanation of this in the Help section of the app. I also set up the read aloud function so that it continues to play when the user backgrounds the app. The hope is that they can then use it the same way they use Audible or similar.
