1: they always read too slowly, and unless you've got a good media player you can't easily skip forward

2: they DELIBERATELY mispronounce names. if there are two ways to say a name they'll choose the uncommon way.

3: text file: 12K
audiobook: 660MB

Some of the absolute best instruction I have ever received was via The Teaching Company mp3s. Philip Daileader talking about early and high middles ages and Michael Sugrue talking about the Socratic dialogues are really without peer. Highly recommended, not shilling.
