    Except many books get read by the author or never get read at all so it opens new opportunities for people who wouldn’t ever use audio books or books who never will get audio version now vision impaired people have the option to hear them.

      TTS already exists for the visually impaired. Amazon can use AI voices for that all they want (they’re better than the default TTS now). Just don’t sell me an “audiobook” that’s not read by a person.
