Was that the abridged version? I thought they got it out faster than usual,
and I thought that was a really long book for them to get done so quickly.
That must have been the reason.
Also, if you can spring for one of those Handicassettes, you can change the
speed of the narrator's voice without changing the pitch. I think they're
overpriced, but I use it all the time to read books and magazines on tape.

I agree with Shannon. I just read a Nora Roberts series and I'm sure NLS will
have it eventually, but I didn't have to wait. Also, when I started with
Bookshare, I read Bill Clinton's biography, the whole thing. NLS had it at
about the same time, but it was the abridged version and I wanted to read all
of it. And I find I can read faster with bookshare books because I use my
screen reader and can increase the speed to a much faster rate than is used by
NLS narrators. The only way I can do this with NLS books is to increase tape
speed which distorts the narrator's voice.
