Still seems really limited to me. maybe if there was some method to see each chapter and section and jump right to where you want, maybe a table of contents with the time stamps, so I know that the advantage rule is at 2 hours and 23 minutes, or the stats for a battle axe are at 4 hours and fifteen minutes. As to taking my own notes before hand, that is great for what you know you’re going to need but not so much for the sorts of questions that come up at the table, which is a big part of what the book is supposed to be there for. I just don’t see the advantage here, a rulebook should be well indexed and if not physical pages, searchable. This seems fine if I just want to sit down and read the book like I might with something like a textbook but that’s not really how a game manual is used.
I am a big believer in audiobooks, but this feels like a really bad fit when other options are available. At best I can see using this for your first brows through the book, before transitioning to a screen reader compatible digital version, otherwise you’re going to remain nearly as dependent on sighted players as we used to be, before the digital age, something I am very very glad I no longer am.
