How do people read the books out loud?

People did that to other adults before TV (well more so before radio and records 30 years earlier) and still read to kids.

Audio books are very popular, not just with joggers and commuters.

I accept that Irish names in traditional spellings are tricky for people outside Ireland, but professional audio books will have them correct and you can actually look them up.

This can be true also with some Welsh and Scottish names in English texts. Of course some names and places in England will baffle Americans eventually as they have no correspondance between spelling and real pronunciation.
