You can easily turn e-books in .epub format into high-quality audiobooks using Audiblez, a free tool that uses Kokoro's natural-sounding text-to-speech voices in many languages. It works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, with options for command line or a simple graphical interface. You can choose different voices, adjust reading speed, and even pick specific chapters to convert. Using a GPU speeds up the process significantly. The final audiobook is saved as an .m4b file, playable on most audiobook apps. This saves you time and money compared to hiring narrators and lets you listen to books hands-free anywhere.

A missile worth perhaps a million dollars can kill maybe 12 or 20 people. But for one million dollars, you can buy 10,000 drones, put four grenades on each, and they will kill 1,000 or even 2,000 people or destroy 200 tanks.

🌎 Ancient Greek fire, known as "Greek fire," was a weapon that could burn even on water. This flammable liquid, projected from tubes, terrified enemies at sea and kept its formula a closely guarded secret, lost to history. ✨
