Personally, i find nothing wrong with synthesized speech. Having gone so many years with out being able to read any thing, Those voices sound like freedom to me.
Also, I find that when an actual human is reading, it takes some of the enjoyment away.. I am used to the iPhone's generic voice, so I can use my imagination to insert any voice, look, or scenario into the context. If I am listening to a real human's voice. I am trapped in that one person. This is doubly problematic when I recognize the voice. I want Spenser to look like what I think he should, not Alec Baldwin. As for speeding up the speech, I red 4 to 5 newspapers , and listen to a few podcasts for work each day, so with out a little extra speed, I'd never get to finish a book.
