I understand this sentiment. I've been an audible subscriber since 2002 and have listened to hundreds of audiobooks, mostly fiction. The ability of the narrator to provide distinct, interesting voices for each character figures prominently into my enjoyment of a book. This technology sounds fantastic, and will likely enable pleasant narration of texts that would otherwise never have it, but I don't think it's likely to replace professional narrators for a large number of cases.
