About Project
In today's world, time plays an important role in the success and development of people. Due to the advancement of technology and the increase in the volume of daily work, almost all of us have some kind of lack of time to do personal work or individual progress. This has left us with little opportunity to read the book. Therefore, with the excuse of time, we convince ourselves that we do not have the opportunity to study. In order to meet this need, we have decided to design an audio and electronic book readerapplication for mobile devices. This application allows users to listen to their favorite books at any time when they are able to do other things, thus providing their growth and development or enjoying their time.
