Hi Arnold. What I'd do, is invest in a good bluetooth speaker. I've got some very nice bluetooth speakers, and I can listen to bookshare books by using voice dream reader and the ebooks sound just fine. I'd never purchase a home pod, they sound kind of junky to me. I like my bose revolve plus speaker.
