Thinking Skins Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 So my new year's resolution was to spend as little money as possible. So far, I've spent no money on books this year, and its cool because I've probably read about 20 books, mostly from libraries (Overdrive is amazing). But in regard to the long commute I spoke of earlier this week, I was thinking about listening to more books on this commute. This isn't a problem when I'm able to get the audiobook, but it seems that the audiobooks are often larger files to download, are scarcer in availability than ebooks (at least at libraries), and probably because of similar commuting problems (or just because people are lazy) audiobooks seem to be in higher demand. So instead of downloading audiobooks, I was thinking of downloading a TTS (text to speech) app and have it convert the ebook into an audiobook. Sounds feasible, right? Anybody have any experience doing this? If so, what are some good tts readers? And do they go with all e-readers (kindle, nook, overdrive, google books, aldiko, etc)?
