Even if the resource drain is small enough to leave your PC usable, using your PC for other tasks while these analog conversions are in progress can result in poor quality output.
But more importantly for me (since I have multiple machines that I could set to doing very time consuming tasks if need be) is the fact that I might get a book and want to listen to it on some other device that same day. I don't want to wait 16 hours, especially when I might find there was a problem of some kind and I might need to start it all over again.

Can't say I ever noticed a drain on computer resources when I'm doing the conversion. But in any case, you can run the program overnight--if the book is lengthy it's usually in parts, and at least one or two parts a night would be doable. Yes, it would take forever, but it would get done. I've never had a problem running SoundTaxi--when I first got it, it ran for five days straight.
And why would you need to wait to listen to a book? Listen to it with the proper app if you can't wait, and then convert it for your backup.
