I use an epub reader like Moon+ with the built in TTS to turn epubs into audiobooks, and I tried Kokoro TTS but the issue was too much lag between sentences plus it doesn't preprocess the next sentence while it reads out the current one.

okay this seems pretty doable, i think i know someone who is working on an epub reader using kittentts. if they don't post about it, i'll do it once its done.
