I've listened to some LibriVox recordings of public domain works, notably A Princess of Mars. The price was right at the time, though the quality was, as you say, remarkably subpar. If I could have had a neural net read me the book instead of having to change with narrators changing every chapter, that would have been preferable.
That said, I have money now, so give me Todd McLaren narrating Altered Carbon for the cost of an Audible Credit every time.
