I am an audio book fanatic, but I haven't been able to use Librivox very much. Quality of reading is everything and it is both a natural talent (voice) and an Art. An intelligent reading requires a great deal of preparation and a high level of dramatic intelligence. I would pay every time for a voice like Sean Barrett's. Sadly the commercial market is totally dominated by Audible and the cut they take from publishers is enormous. So the price of great audiobooks will remain high. Also I can't listen to them on Linux (unless you count Android which I don't really). What I'd love is: * A new platform that is publisher friendly (perhaps an initiative funded by a group of publishers * DRM free Not likely though.
