At one point I had a shell script that used eBook Reader, and audacity (I think), to convert eBooks to audio books. I ended up having to spend too much time cleaning up the eBook, for the result to be listenable. Even then, the synthetic voice could be aggravating.

ebookreader $1 > audacity  $1.mp3
called as
Code:
sh ebook2audio.sh example.epub
