1. This is so sad.

I listen a LOT as I work outside on my farm and I would lose my mind without Audiobooks. I have some favorite readers but I do not follow them. Still, I fail to see how an emotionless being could possibly take the place of a good reader. Not only that, these people that read for us have made a living out of their ability to reach us. I know AI learns, I know AI will likely be hard to tell but it sickens me anyway.

Years I have been able to read and read and read by listening. I would go crazy when I put hours on a tractor without my headset with noise cancelling. I get up, download what I want or go to my latest book and I am set for the day.

OK, just whining now. All these "new" "improvements" are making me glad I am getting old.
