What’s even better is that Storytel also houses books from regional authors. Before Storytel, there was no other service which allowed me to easily consume works of Hindi novelist and that’s why I was so happy to discover it. I was the same, however, it changed when I first read Munshi Premchand’s work, and have been following Hindi literature since then. It’s sad that while most of us grow up with the stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata, we discard Hindi literature and novelists as soon as we are able to choose our own books. And no, I am not talking about a few Indian authors who have managed to publish books in English, rather the writers which publish their work in Hindi and are mostly left undiscovered.
The biggest reason which pushed me to give this service a try was its selection of books from Indian authors.
Large Selection of Content From Indian Authors. It is by far my favorite feature of the app as it makes switching between the versions a real treat. All one needs to do is tap on the line where he is finishing and the audiobook will be synced to that line. The same happens when a user switches from the eBook version to the audiobook version. To help users find the exact line, the app even highlights the text till which the user has listened to the book in the audio version. When you switch to its eBook version, it will open directly at the line where you closed your audiobook. However, thankfully the service automatically syncs a user’s progress between the audiobook and the eBook, making it really easy switch between both the versions.įor example, if you are listening to the audiobook version of a book and have reached to say somewhere in chapter 5. Although the service does provides both the audiobook and eBook versions of books, it would have been pointless if a user had to physically mark his progress while consuming the book. 
While there are a lot of things that I love about Storytel, the feature which made me subscribe to the service was the effortless sync between audiobooks and eBooks.
Automatic Sync between Audiobooks and eBooks. The service currently boasts of a catalogue of more than 7000 books from some of the best authors in India and the world. The best part about the service is that both the versions of the books are available at no extra cost to you (more on the pricing details later). The service provides both audio and eBook version of the books so you can consume them in the form that you desire. One of the best features of Storytel is that you are not limited to the audiobook version of a book. The features will help us understand what Storytel has in store for its users and whether the service is worth your time: Let us begin our review by taking a look at all the key features of Storytel.
