Apologies in advance if this crosses some policy line... it might technically, but I don't think it does in spirit. (No money involved!) I've just published an Audiobook player focused on the elderly or people with other limitations in Play Store. It has a really simple UI and works really well with...

Anyone (else) have any ideas?

I'm working on an Android book player(*) with particular emphasis on the elderly who have limitations using things like smart phones (and CD players, and...). My "beta tester" has read a lot of your books with it very successfully. This will be a completely free app (both liber and gratis)...
