Leon Janning the guy with a sneer in his voice,
Gordon Gould, who always sounded so serious.
Mitzi Friedlander, who sounded like everyone's mother, then everyone's grandmother. And, Alexander Scourby, who could read anything and make it sound beautiful.

Obviously you're a science fiction fan. No one picked up a sense of amazement like Robert Donley, but we are both dating ourselves by knowing about him. Many of those old (in time, not age) NLS readers were something special. ----- source message -----

Beginning in late 1999, Jim Baen began selling books on the Webscription service of Baen Books. He never used DRM, didn't believe in it, sold the books in a half a dozen formats usable to anyone who had a computer with a word processor even if the only thing you had was internet explorer. Eric Flint has been arguing in every issue of the online Science Fiction Magazine Jim Baen's Universe against Mindless copyright restrictions and DRM. Messer's Baen and Flint paved the way. it's nice to see other publishers slowly coming around to their way of thinking. My guess is that dropping DRM will actually increase the sale of audio books over what it would have been with DRM left in place. My guess also is that many sighted audio book listeners will become devotees of an audio book reader and may began buying books as much by who reads the book as who wrote it. How many of us old blind guys would order any book read by Robert donley just because Mr. Donley was such a grate reader. But as DRM dies, I hope it dies: And more and more books become available in Blind Friendly Formats we have Jim Baen to thank probably more then anyone out side the Blindness Community. Old Jim did it for the money. of course that's why Bell invented the Telephone and Edison invented the record player. 

Sincerely Yours:
Duane Iverson
