System Testing

I love listening to books.

There isn't enough time to consume the text available, in whatever form it takes.

It was over 20 years ago I started stealing books over the internet. Disc space was limited, expensive. Optical discs were relatively cheap. Put most of what I had there, then into slotted folders. They went on the shelf and barely looked at them. 2009 is when I signed up at Audible, been listening to Audible since. The subscription is cheap enough to curb the pirating to some degree.

Fast forward to now. Moon Reader Pro makes it super easy to listen to e-books. Audible is cheap. Librivox has soooo many free titles now. Dug out the folders with the discs filled with audiobooks, started putting them on a hard drive. They will be much more accessible.

More testing of the Hermes agent. Gave it a list of my Audible library, the last 50 books listened to, and had it access the folder where the audiobooks are going. Told it to make a questionnaire to get to know my reading preferences. I answered the questions, fed it back to the agent, then asked for recommendations from the audiobooks that are getting copied to the hard drive. This took a while, but the agent did most everything. 

When it's all said and done, will have close to 1k audiobooks, if not more. Could not possibly listen to them within my lifetime.
