Menestrello is the perfect app for reading+listening EPUB 3 Audio-eBooks.
Menestrello is the official build of Minstrel (http://www.readbeyond.it/minstrel/), the FLOSS hybrid reading app.
Menestrello is designed for EPUB 3 Audio-eBooks, that is, reflowable text and embedded, synchronized audio. Other formats (EPUB 2, EPUB 3 FXL, etc.) that can be loaded in the app are not officially supported.
To add an EPUB 3 Audio-eBook to the app you can copy the EPUB file into the //Menestrello/ directory of your device, or you can download the EPUB in your browser and then select "Open with Menestrello".
You can download several EPUB 3 Audio-eBooks for free from http://www.readbeyond.it/ (no registration required)
