You could call the number and sign in to a personal account which knew all your preferences.Then select works from project gutenberg and other e-text archives and they would be read to you. Better yet the whole thing is free and aspiring writers could submit their stories. I have set up something like this already and can be accessed by:

dialing: 1800-555-TELL wait till it says tellme menu and dial 1-39746

How do you pay for the phone bill?

I think he means there is no phone bill. Excepting the normal phone bill, i.e. no long distance charges, etc.

This is a great idea. Someone should send it to the National Federation of the Blind in Baltimore who have a telephone service that provides access to national magazines and newspapers read by a computer voice, but it's only for people with low vision.
