IMO, most audio read by humans (esp. voice actors) are far preferable to machine readings. Also, I found no demos on that page.

There are many books available as audio, some are human-read, some were automated. You can see lists here:
human-read: https://www.gutenberg.org/browse/categories/1
computer-generated: https://www.gutenberg.org/browse/categories/2
IIRC many of the human-generated ones come from LibriVox, many of the computer-generated ones came from a collaboration with Microsoft.
(Note: A lot of print media these days has switched to far-to-small font-sizes. Less of a problem for (zoomable) digital media, but for many that's still a barrier.)
