This is where I've ended up apart from the articles I read and the very very occasional ebook. The only issue I have is sometimes I can't handle the narrators style or voice and so I can't get into the book, even if I really want to.

Also if the book is set in Sydney, Australia maybe hire a local of the country to narrate it Amazon. FFS who wants to listen to a yank narrating an Australian character.

Yanks want to hear Australian characters being voiced by Yanks.

An Aussie character, voiced by an Aussie, will be heard as British by a Yank.
