I have the same love/hate relationship with audiobooks. I'm hoping one day that we can get software reading books in a convincing/pleasurable way. Maybe a company like DeeScript realizes the possibilities of their tech.
Otherwise I don't think the audiobook model really scales. (What's the point in investing x thousands of dollars for a book that isn't/won't sell.)

It'll only narrate a web page about three hours long but I've split a couple books into pieces and had it read them into Audacity to make audiobooks of novels that didn't have them. I wish there was an easier way to do it.
