User reviews

TTS Ebook Reader is a useful Chrome extension for converting ebooks to speech, especially beneficial for users with vision impairments and those accessing books from services like Overdrive and Kindle. However, many users report that the extension has stopped working on some platforms, suffers from bugs, and the subscription model is not clearly disclosed upfront, leading to surprise paywalls. Additionally, users find it difficult to cancel subscriptions, and payment methods are confusing. While some appreciate the customer support, overall there is dissatisfaction due to the lack of transparency and reliability.

Pros

Useful for reading ebooks from services like Overdrive and Scribd, especially for users with vision issues.
Provides access to ebooks via text-to-speech where other options may not work, like Kindle Cloud Reader and Scribd.
Quality of the reading experience is generally good with good voice options.
Subscription cost is considered reasonable by some users given the service it provides.
Developer has provided customer service with prompt replies to some users.

Cons

Extension is not consistently working; many users report that it stopped working or crashes on some sites.
Subscription or trial model is not clearly disclosed upfront, leading to surprise paywalls and user frustration.
Canceling the subscription is difficult and information on how to do it is not readily available.
Some users experience bugs such as skipping sentences or paragraphs, making the experience disorienting.
Payment processing is confusing and does not clearly link payments to service usage, causing user frustration.

Recent reviews

This used to work really well with Kindle Cloud Reader (and I didn't mind paying for it), but now it does not work with the site at all. There are no updates from the developer to suggest if or when this will be fixed - the website linked in the extension download page doesn't work, and the Github page has not been updated it seems in 2 years. I was still being billed so I unsubscribed on Paypal.
