    So I’m curious, this presumably needs DRM free ebooks to begin with right? Chances are if you have those you have a line on audio books as well. Is this intended for the books that just aren’t available as audio books yet?

    If you are visually impaired you can get free audio books from The Braille Institute.

      I have over 100 purchased ebooks that I stripped the DRM from.

      Some people have to buy ebooks with DRM to support the author but like to strip it using a Calibre plugin, for various reasons.

      I use moon reader pro and a premium tts voice.

      If you can find an audiobook, it’ll be better, that said it’s really really easy to get epubs.

      Also epubs are like a couple hundred k tops. So downloading them is super quick.

      Could be useful for web articles and scientific papers too (if it could be configured to ignore reading out all of the boiler plate and citations).
