I love the readers from both n l s and audible. Some times the readers are
better at n l s than audible and vice a versa. In any case all readers are
hired positions and they are all professionals.
When I am shopping for a book, I always check with nls first and if they do
not have it, I will go to audible and buy it there.
Then there is always book share and rfb and d. I love lots of options for
being able to buy and borrow books.
Hugs,
Andrea M. Breier

Its better production and quality than the nls books though, and there
isn't any waiting while a decision is to be made about recording the
book or not.
Kill Decision, the book I just started reading last night was available
in print on July 19, 2012 and here it is on my phone and other sources.
I'm not giving up on NLS books, just living life on the edge of reading
technology :)
