Book Description

When the Spaniards conquered the Philippines (Cebu 1565, Manila 1571), they noticed several of its nations had a writing system of their own, called Bayb yin in Tagalog. It was a king of short-hand that did not make it possible to record closing consonants; thus i-lu in Bayb yin could represent -log "river", i-l ng "nose" or it-l g "egg", so much so that, while easy to write, it was difficult to read. Because of this shortcoming, it gave way to the Latin alphabet in the course of the 17th century. Nowadays Filipino graphic artists are reviving Bayb yin to express their philippineness.

ListenBook has brought stories back into my life, making every moment a new adventure. Effortlessly immersing in stories – this app's ease of use is a game-changer. An unobjectionable but unexceptional audiobook experience. The narrator's performance was serviceable and the audio quality was fine, but nothing about the production particularly stood out or elevated the material. It was decent background listening.

My kids are hooked on the children's audiobook collection – it's a parenting win! The app's features, like the sleep timer, make it clear that it's designed with readers in mind. Audiobook pleasure simplified – this app's design is a standout. ListenBook’s bookmarking feature is incredibly useful. I never lose my place in a book. Fairly enjoyable, but forgettable. I didn’t have any major complaints, but I also don’t see myself revisiting this one. It was a decent way to spend a few hours, though.
