Weirdly, I and at least a few others based on the YouTube comments, saw the presentation pop up in our YouTube suggestions in the last few days and at least I watched the presentation a few days ago. Wonder if there’s any connection between its recent resurgence and this Q&A getting uploaded now.

Also gotta wonder (as John does) where this came from. I assume Apple’s archival library, but who got it out of there and why now.

Yes they have, but they didn't have the ability to align a book _on device_ like Apogee does. It just listens for a few seconds of audio to find where you are in the book and then aligns automatically going forward without having to pre-process.

I haven't spent much time with calibre-web in a long time but can confidently say BookOrbit blows it out of the water in terms of functionality. I love that I can have one app that handles books and audiobooks. The ecosystem of apps that work with it is growing quick too, Apogee for iOS being a standout for me. They recently added readaloud support (like Amazon Whispersync or Storyteller) natively in the app, which I've never seen done before.

I have no relation to BookOrbit except I'm a very happy user.

My current daily driver is a Logitech MX Keys. I don't love it honestly but it's not bad.
