Really? I like to listen to books while I'm walking. On my android 
phone/tablet, I just download them in "epub" format and use an android 
book reader (from the android Play Store). These interface to the 
android text-to-speech reader and so I can have the book read to over 
headphones as I walk. There are various voices available but they all 
tend to be a bit robotic. You don't get inflection or emotion read into 
anything, but actually I've got used to just storing a sentence in my 
hhead and kinda re-interpreting it as I go. The speeed of the voice 
readback can also be varied.

It's not a patch on having a good reader read it out, but it does suffice.

BTW: someewhere we have six DVDs with old out-of-copyright SF books 
stored on them in epub format (from some guy selling 'em on ebay). We've 
just moved house and so they can't be immediately found. When they turn 
up, I could do copies for you.

Meanwhile here's a link to Dying Inside in epub format:
