I put together a script to read epub books using Coqui TTS and I think the results are not far off from this. It's super quick if you've got a GPU, but it's reasonable too if it's just using CPU to do the text to speech.

Does this handle text cleanup? Eg replace Roman numerals so they aren’t read literally etc? May need to dust off my Python for a Pr if not

It does not handle that. A PR to replace stuff like that would be fantastic, I'd love it - please do!
