Thanks, Anna. Well I really like voice dream now again, since they sorted out the problem with the UI being so sluggish when cloud sync is enabled. But the one thing I am noticing is that when reading nonfiction books, with my preferred James voice, I would like to have a little bit more pause after sentences. They're not run on. But there closer to run on then I would like. So I guess I will check out dolphin and see how that works
