Thanks for the treat. My kids love Peter Rabbit (they are only 3 and 1.5 and I am still trying to get them into audiobooks).

I like the blog, I have been listening to audiobooks for ages (spent a lot of money on audible) but just getting more serious about it, writing reviews etc.

I like that your site doesn’t just focus on Audible but talks about other resources out there also.

This is fascinating stuff. Judith and Heather must spend SO much time working on this. It’s amazing and an incredibly useful resource for all us nit-picky narrators who want to always say the right thing.
Ladies, you are awesome!

Thank you for spreading the word Mary Burkey.

How exciting! What a great bunch of books to look forward to. The Raven Boys audiobook is excellent and Carter Finally Gets It is a hoot!

Thanks for the heads up!

Janis Ian was a spokesperson for so many of us with her beautiful songs during the 70s. Congrats to her on receiving this well deserved honor.

Thanks for inspiration! There is always problems in founding something interesting for young listeners. I will definitely check some of them out, especially Strawberry Girl and The Seamstress. Never was really interested in audiobook, but trying to find something for me to listen to, I came across this list. Thanks once more!

Comment on Kindle 3 text-to-speech vs. Audiobook by Paul

I’ve tested this many ways and an audiobook is MUCH better than a text to speech, without a doubt.

Text to speech is better than no audio, but not by much.
