I'm loving Readable! I really enjoy reading the stories, and it would be amazing to have access to the complete versions. I think the library could be more organized, allowing us to remove books we've already read, organize them by category, and, if possible, listen to audio from just the selected paragraph or the whole story starting from any point (not just the beginning). That would be perfect!

Hi Gabs, you *can* listen from any point in a story! Swipe right on a sentence to hear the audio for that sentence ✨ Thanks for your other suggestions :)
