Audio book readers:

I'm planning to record an audio version of Children of Doro, but debating whether to leave in the footnotes.

They carry information that absolutely deepens the character of my neurotic AI narrator, but audio books often leave them out.

If left in, they're coded with the word "footnote" and pauses.

Alternately, when I first sent my agent the manuscript, they were embedded in the body of the MS - so they could also just be read as asides.

As a listener, any preferences?
