User reviews
ничего не работает :( ни в хром, ни в опера. даже во времена Pentium 1 и то была возможность прочесть разные книги вслух, а сейчас во времена инэта и не до "ии" нет такой встроенной возможности в обозревателях и желательно внесетевой, потому что иногда требуется открывать сохранённые страницы, а втыкать в экран не всегда удобно в отличии от свободных ушей.
