Converting documents to audiobooks
With podcasts and portable mp3 players increasing the popularity of audio as a medium for content other than just songs, here is a great article in the August edition of linux gazette.

- archmage (CHM) requires also python
- ps2ascii (PS and PDF) from the ghostscript-library package
- Lynx
- text2wave from Festival
- the lame MP3 encoder
