I'm finding most the books that are selling for around $20 online at the Library on CD. Is there any reason to not get them from the library?

If you want to invest some money, you can make your own audible books Just go to http://www.nextup.com/ and purchase talk aloud and I love the NeoSpeech voices

The best way to create a book is to divide it in to chapters and create the audible book that way

The pre-Mac OS X voices were scary. I believe they called one of them Fred.

Like I said, the default voices are crappy and that is why I recommended the NeoSpeech Voices

Once in a while I use text aloud with the neospeech voices to make my own audible books

If you want a sample of the voices I use - the neospeech voices - go to http://vhost.oddcast.com/vhost_minisite/demos/tts/tts_example.html and type something in and choose the kate or paul voices and see what the difference is between the ones that come with microsoft

Mind you I bought the neospeech voices from zabaware along with ultra hal but they are worth it compared to the ones that come with the computer by default. They take up like 300 megs of space and are pretty realistic when used properly

That oddcast demo only works 3 times then you need Clear the "oddjack" cookie after three entries to do more. Found on digg

I don't like machines that talk to me, nor do I like "speaking" to them. It's just not natural.
