Actually, if I could I would also speed up movies, I read almost always at a higher speed and sometimes I wish I could do it with news, movies and such, taking a half an hour to read or hear something I could hear in 20 minutes annoys me but then I also use pretty fast reading on my computer and my phone. Only thing I dislike about iBlink radio is that I cannot speed up podcasts so I have them now going to Downcast where I can speed them up, 2 X is about my limit on most things.

For me a large part of the enjoyment is the reading itself, of course also the story, but speeding up a well-read audio book to me would be the same as speeding up playback on a movie so that instead of the movie being 90 minutes I could listen to it in 30 or 40 minutes. The same goes for books in electronic text, I listen to Jaws and Voiceover all day and it's fine for work, but there is just no way in a thousand years that I listen to a good novel using a synthesized voice and there isn't a voice out there that is even a tenth as good as what a good reader can do. But to each his or her own I guess! Regards, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
