The Moderator has it right. You can link to the article, and you can quote from it under the "fair use" provision, but you can't reprint it in whole. The amount you can quote through "fair use" is a bit arbitrary.
I suppose that the text to speech function might evolve in time to rival a dramatic reading from a good actor, perhaps even using a known actor's voice and inflection (which would be another lawsuit!), but as an author I just see it as adding to the value of the book and perhaps selling a book that otherwise wouldn't be sold.
I can see why audiobook publishers would be worried, but I don' t understand why authors should care.
