British Amy is the best!
I think I actually prefer TTS over human-read audiobooks (unless the reader happens to be someone I like especially). The TTS adds no interpretation or characterization, aside from its slight uncanny valley oddness. And once I get used to the voice, I don't need to reacquaint myself to a new voice with every book.
That said, I still have a hard time "reading" an entire book by listening. It's too easy for my attention to wander. It's good for a chapter here and there, and for long articles.
