- BooneJS 9y agoNot at all; the opposite, I think. As a new Silicon Valley resident, I spent 2 hours a day in a car and have really been enjoying Audible. A few years ago I found myself using Instapaper-to-Kindle. Now I need something-to-Audible. :/

I have been very pleased with customer reviews when we used the service to custom voicemail greetings per caller for a call center app, where the client was losing too many tickets to SPAM filters, before we could move them to a new SMTP server. And afterwards, too.
