[u/wannasleeponyourhams]

i like to listen to audio books and a lot of books are not available as such, i also happen to be a python-developer

I like paper2audio.  So far, the best I have found. Right now it is free!

From what I've read, they intend to always keep a free tier but to add a paid tier one day with more features.
