That surely is a poor comment on the quality of audiobooks, when a vocal performance by a professional can be compared so evenly by a cold unfeeling computer algorithm. I can see listening to the Kindle for a few pages while driving but wouldn't think of listening to an entire book that way. This is nothing but content producers trying to find just another drop of blood to squeeze out of the consumer.

My God, what will they do if they find out that books can be read aloud by parents at bed time. Or pretty much any other time. Do you think they might push the government to prohibit procreation? Is this how humanity is doomed to end??

Or just do what I do, keep the harddrive. Store archival data to it, label it and stack it with others on the shelf.
