Would you recommend I listen to any of the books?

Wish I could use this technology for myself to listen to non-fiction books. Even if it costs $10 I'd still feel it'd be worth it.

Check out speechify.com it's a genuinely good service.

Unless it has improved in the last 5 months, I'm passing. Somehow can't concentrate on their TTS. Might have to do with the stuff I want it to read.

Thanks for the tip though
