Indeed! My jaw dropped when I saw the price - USD280!

The narration becomes a disembodied buzz in my ear. Then it's a PITA to back up and figure out where I first tuned it out.

And sometimes the narrator ruins the book - I'm reading the Game of Thrones series right now and the narrator for them I just do not like at all - in the first one where Kahl Drogo was saying "No?" to Dany on their wedding night his reading of it was SO, SO wrong!!!

I've wanted a remote, too! I'm very lazy (haha) and read in bed a lot and sometimes it's COLD and I want my hands under the blankets and having a little remote in hand would be pretty nice!

Back to audiobooks, I do find that non-fiction can be easier to listen to if it's a topic I'm very interested in, since they are pretty to the point and they can't mess up the character's 'voice'.

I'd love to have a remote ring (I think it was somebody else's idea on this forum), like those Power Pt presenter rings. That way I wouldn't need to move my arms when reading at night in bed.
