Books on disk
We listen to Audible books as we travel cross country. So we had a CD player in our F350. However that spontaneously combusted and the truck we are looking at a 2018 RAM 2500 does not have a CD player...

I can't say that the text-to-talk app doesn't work okay, since I've not tried it, but I would warrant it can't compare to a real person, and I mean a "GOOD" narrator.
I wholeheartedly agree! I listen to a lot of audio books and the narrator really makes it. Rarely though, the narrator can ruin it.
I have to agree with Renee. While I still prefer reading rather than listening to books (although I have been moving to Kindle versions rather than physical books) the narrator of an audio book can make or destroy it. Speaking text is easy; telling a story with the author's intent is far more difficult - I doubt a computerized text to voice system will ever match a good narrator.
Some excellent narrators include Nicholas Guy Smith, George Guidall, or JD Jackson.
