Request for faster speeds in the Adobe Acrobat Reader's read aloud feature.

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Reader (on Android) to read books with the read aloud feature. Current option for reading speed are "0.5x", "1x", 1.5x" and "2x".

If faster speeds could be added with increased granularity, it would be immensely helpful. I usually watch YouTube at 3.6x so 2x feels relatively pretty slow. A simple "2.5x", "3x", "3.5x" and "4x" addition would be wonderful. Thanks.

I have a words per minute field.  However, the actual words per minute do not change by much unless you make it impossible to discern the words as the gaps between the words remain the same and the words are sped up.  However, the gaps between the words are such as to make it nearly impossible to concentrate and to understand what is being read.  I am not sure what the actual F they are playing at providing such a substandard product when I pay a hefty liscence fee each year for the professional version.
