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.

Come on, are you one of those people that has a hard time imagining how anyone can do things differently than you would?
I gave up Sound Taxi a long while ago because the quality of the output was highly variable, and always adversely impacted by other use of the computer.
I'd hope it, along with PCs in general, have improved, but I suspect, given the nature of analog conversion, it will still be true for many people.
As for using the 'proper' app, maybe I don't want to. Using a little imagination, maybe the only 'proper' app someone has is the PC, and they'd like to take the book in the car with them.
Not to mention that PCs sometimes crash or lose power, or get inadvertently touched by other household members.
Unlike making barbecue or love, it's better to get things like this done faster rather than having them go on for hours.
