		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite new authors is Joe Abercrombie. A few year ago, he published The First Law trilogy, a dark fantasy series, followed recently by Best Served Cold, a novel set I&#8217;m the First Law world. I picked up the first nook in the trilogy a few years ago in paperback and was immediately hooked. I do not read many books in print (though lots in audio), so this was a big deal for me. As I wrote earlier, a while back, I contacted the author via his web site to suggest audio versions of his books. Abercrombie responded and followed up the request, but met with the usual red tape faced by authors. The decision to produce an audio version lies more with the publishers, though, but Abercrombie put in a request. A few months ago, I heard the audio version was en route. Just a few days ago, Best Served Cold, Abercrombie&#8217;s latest, arrived on Audible.com&#8217;s virtual shelves. Yeah! Now I can finish reading it. I have the Kindle edition, but have not gotten past the first few chapters. With the Kindle app on my iPod (set to the light-on-dark color scheme and to the giant font [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, author Joe Abercrombie announced that his new book, Best Served Cold will be released in the US on the Kindle. I have found the Kindle app on my iPod Touch to be very readable on the largest font setting  and with the inverse color scheme (white text on a black background). Despite this, I still prefer to listen to books than read them. It saves eyestrain and often the narration is qutie good. Joe Abercrombie&#8217;s debut dark fantasy trilogy, The Frist Law, caught my attention in the bookstore when the first book came out here in the US. I read the first chapter in the bookstore cafe, took it home and jut could not put it down. There were no electronic or audio editions. The books were released early in the UK, so I had a friend pick me up the next two while he was visiting. These are a few of the very short list  of fiction books I have read in paper in the last decade. As I noted in Best Served Cold, I have occasionally pestered the author by email about releasing audio version. Joe has been incredibly responsive to my requests, but the hold up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been a while since I have posted about my campaign for more unabridged audiobooks. I have not abandoned my quest, but I have not made much progress either. I did hear back this week from one of my favorite new fantasy authors, Joe Abercrombie, about the bogged down negotiations for the audio rights to his works. About a year or so ago, I picked up The Blade Itself, Abercrombie&#8217;s first book and the first of his First Law trilogy. I am not sure why I picked it up. The title, the cover, the back cover spiel, the first few pages? Something grabbed me about it and overcame my reluctance to struggle with my reading glasses. As soon I had returned home, I was hooked. Since Abercrombie is English, his books come out there first, followed by as much as a year later here. By the time I finished the first book of this trilogy, I was jonesing for the next. I hooked a British friend on the series just to get him to import the next two as they came out on that side of the pond. Now with the coming of his new novel, Best Served Cold, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Note: Updated for iPhone 3.0 @ Accessing Audiobook Speed on iPhone 3.0] Speeding up a recording used to make it sound like Alvin &#38; the Chipmunks. Growing up, I had a cassette player for the blind that had a variable speed playback control. Being a kid, I used it mainly for entertainment value. Fun was had with friends making the narrators sound silly. Slide the bar up to get the fast, high-pitched tones of Alvin and the Chipmunks. Slide it down and you get slow, sonorous speech. I never used the cassette player much. It was more of a novelty. My sight was still good enough to read books without glasses even though I had to do it close up and with lots of eye strain and headaches. Those days are long over. Now I rely much more on audio books. I have never learned to get along well with the cassette players designed for the blind. Instead, I listen mostly to books that I get from audible.com. In the early days, I listen to these books on a variety of MP3 players. At some point, though, I settled on and have stuck with Apple&#8217;s iPods. I had an early [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An Open Letter to Jeff Bezos at Amazon Does Amazon have a Chief Accessibility Officer? Someone who oversees accessibility issues across the company? It does not seem so. With Amazon at the heart of both online shopping and digital books (audio and e-books), you need a strong corporate position on accessibility. Not only is there a moral duty for this, but a fiduciary one as well. The market for accessible products is only beginning to bloom as the baby boomers stat to retire. As tech savvy customers age and their eyesight fades, there will be a strong market impetus towards offering accessibility. The first issue facing Amazon is this Kindle controversy over the Talk to Me feature. Offering this capability makes the Kindle 2 nearly the holy grail of accessible reading devices for the visually impaired. Yet, allowing the publishers to disable text to speech reduces the accessibility of the device and may lose a significant market for the Kindle. Amazon needs someone who can find solutions for this situation. Perhaps Amazon should partner with the National Library Service for the Blind to provide TTS-enabled books to qualified individuals until the publishers see that Talk to Me is in their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spotted on Slashdot, Author&#8217;s Guild Says Kindle&#8217;s Text-To-Speech Software Illegal. &#8220;The Author&#8217;s Guild claims that the new Kindle&#8217;s text-to-speech software is illegal, stating that &#8220;They don&#8217;t have the right to read a book out loud,&#8221; said Paul Aiken, executive director of the Authors Guild. &#8220;That&#8217;s an audio right, which is derivative under copyright law.&#8221; Forget for a moment that text-to-speech doesn&#8217;t copy an existing work. And forget the odd notion that the artificial enunciation of plain text is equivalent to a person&#8217;s nuanced and emotive reading. The Guild&#8217;s claim is that even to read out loud is a production akin to an illegal copy, or a public performance.&#8221; why is there such a conflict between accessibility and copyright? It seems to me the lot of accessibility issues are a side effect of copyright protection. Digital rights management, (DRM), as always impeded the flow of accessible information. The Library of Congress has thousands of volumes of text in audio format, but does not release it digitally because of fears of copyright infringement. Publishers are afraid of accessible electronic books in open formats, such as PDF, for the same reason. The music industry seems ready to abandon DRM. Apple&#8217;s iTunes has begun [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The NY Times, along with every other news source, is reporting on the new version of Amazon&#8217;s e-book reader, the Kindle.Buried among all the other changes is one important accessibility feature: text-to-speech. According to the Times: Giving Voice to the Kindle: The Kindle 2 also has text-to-speech built in. “Any book, blog, magazine or personal document can be read aloud,” Mr. Bezos said. Users can switch between reading text and hearing it read by a fairly computerized voice. “It’s very easy to go back and forth between reading and listening,” Mr. Bezos said I have tested out the first version, as my wife has the Kindle 1.0. With its adjustable font size set to the maximum, I can read the text fairly easily with my low vision reading glasses. I look forward to testing out the new text-to-speech feature when I find someone with the new version. The new Kindle&#8217;s text-to-speech offers two voices, male and female, and does not offer variable speed playback. I really like the variable spped playback on the iPod, though I wish it had more than three settings. We will have to wait on reviews of the reading quality, but Nuance, who provides the Kindle&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you can read in earlier posts, here and here, I have been waging a one-person campaign to see more unabridged audiobooks on Audible.com. I had a first success with Ron Rosenbaum&#8217;s Explaining Hitler. Just a few weeks ago, I saw that Doris Kearns Goodwin had released the unabridged version of Team of Rivals on Audible.com. I had emailed Ms. Goodwin several months ago about doing just this. I can not be sure that this was not coincidence, but hopefully this counts as a second battle won. If you find this post useful or interesting, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.Related Posts:First success with &#34;More Unabridged Auiobooks!&#34;Update on &#34;More Unabridged Auiobooks!&#34;More Unabridged Auiobooks!In Defense of Audiobooks: Another SuccessBest Served Audible]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a nice review of iPods, other digital music players and related software from an accessible perspective: Portable Player Portal Main Page. I am interested in Rockbox, which has a voice-based interface, but it does not allow for Audible.com playback. If you find this post useful or interesting, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.Related Posts:Tethering with a Portable DVD PlayerVariable Speed Playback on the iPhoneMy iPod WishlistiPhone 3.0 Accessibility PreviewEasy Reading with Audible.com]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to second this opinion: Medialoper Â» Thatâ€™s What I Like: Audible.com. Listening to audiobooks while working out gives me the opportunity and discipline to listen to those long books that can&#8217;t be listened to while going to sleep. I recently made it through Jenkins&#8217; biography of Churchill [Churchill: A Biography] and now am finishing the second volume of Foote&#8217;s history of the Civil War [The Civil War: A Narrative (3 Vol. Set)].

		<description><![CDATA[I have had my first success with my grass root campaign for more unabridged audio. I received an email this week from Ron Rosenbaum, the author of Explaining Hitler. I read this book a few years ago on cassette, but could not find it on Audible.com. I emailed Mr. Rosenbaum, who was kind enough to see that his book will be published on Audible. From the email: It took a while but we&#8217;ve made arrangements for books on tape to make the Hitler book available on audible.com. I&#8217;m not sure when it will become available (just signed the paperwork) but thought I&#8217;d let you know it&#8217;s happening. Best, ron rosenbaum Thank you, Mr. Rosenbaum.
