First - I would not want calibre to store the audio book in the directory it creates - but a link/shortcut to it would be great. And many ebooks I also have in audio form as well. They are part of my book library after all - not just my music library. I would love it if I could use calibre to also catalog my audio books. Although not as simple as at first it seems. I can never understand people who say they don’t read - it’s like breathing to me.Here is a thought/idea. I’d lose all links with the outside world without my Calibre books. They help me to cope with the constant pain and awful symptoms I experience all the time by giving me something else to concentrate on. Audiobooks are an integral part of my life and I honestly don’t know how I’d cope without them. Sarah goes on to say: “Books mean solace and escapism to me. Simply by having my books in audio, a lot of these problems are overcome.”
Then I’d get such bad PEM I’d be lying in a darkened room unable to move for weeks. Reading a novel is about as achievable for me as climbing Mount Everest in flip flops if I tried to read a single page of print it’d take me a long time. One of the distinguishing features of ME is post-exertional malaise, or PEM, which means the worsening of all symptoms after even minor physical, mental or emotional activity that is disproportionate to what was undertaken. “I feel I have lost a lot through my illness although it’s hard to explain why my ME makes it challenging for me to read print. Before her illness took hold, Sarah loved nothing more than to curl up with a paperback and was devastated to lose that. Sarah has suffered with ME since she was a child, but it only became severe enough to affect her ability to read in her early 20s.
