Yep. Please keep flying over us.

One of the restrictions was that Artemis had to be build with off-the-shelf technology. That's why they're using shuttle boosters, and apparently, Outlook.
... peer-review will be done *after* publishing, with all article versions being available and linked together...
Another bit of added value is having all the versions of the paper out in the open. Future researches can see the effect of peer-review itself: what did the authors put in or leave out for approval?
If you already have the physical book, why would you want to suddenly jump to an audio version of it?
I've done it on occasion. I prefer reading to listening, but I've gotten behind on books I was reading for a book club, so I would listen to the audio-book during my commute and read when I was home. This service would've been pretty handy.
The book was in the public domain, and there was a LibriVox recording, so it didn't cost me anything. I'm pretty cheap, so I wouldn't pay a lot for it.
I'm curious what percentage of book sales are indy-published works, which are mostly e-books.
