Audio recordings of book readings are less practical than subtitles because they are not synchronized. Every subtitle in a film is associated with the sound clip that plays while it is visible, whereas for an audiobook or similar, any algorithm would have to "align" the audio and text in order to obtain usable training data, and then it would have to deal with the errors introduced by this process.
