Yes they really do a mind blowing job of bringing books to life. It’s so hard when I go from an amazing narrator to having Siri read to me when the audiobook isn’t available. Though Siri is quite funny when she says “Seriously” in a dramatic voice, the only line she says differently. (Is this really the day I realize I give my phone a gender. Oh jeez)

Martha Webb or MJ Webb. Fantastic voice with amazing ability to change characters. The talent really came to life with a middle grade book she narrated.

They were in the wrong. There definitely needs to be a balance between making all books accessible and making sure the authors get paid for their work. Piracy is not the answer.
Libraries pay a higher amount for limited use. Ebooks are paid per use also. The same way Blockbuster would pay a huge amount to buy movies to rent out. I remember it being $200-$500 per DVD. I’m sure it’s the same with movie theaters but at a higher cost. Entertainment costs money and man hours to create.
