I am not visually impaired, but I am hearing impaired, and I absolutely prefer unabridged audio books to TTS.

TTS just isn't at a point where it can inflect properly. Inflection is often the difference between understanding a "didn't quite catch the word" passage and not understanding it.

However, if someone wanted a pure experience without reader inflection AND they had perfect hearing, perhaps they would see what *I* value in audio books as a bug instead of a feature?
