Can this be used on Books?

Hello, Fantastic project.

Is this appropriate for use on very long text files such as books, or will I get my account or this tool in trouble?
Would I separate such files into chapters, pages, or paragraphs, or just send the entire book in one go?

Thanks! Also thank you for the concern! So, it would work but there is some rate limiting applied (read: being blocked for some time). So I would suggest indeed programmatically cutting in parts with some artificial pauses between them.

Update for anyone interested.
It seems to work fine, but is fairly slow and their are still a few bugs to work out.
It took 14h to covert 1.5mb text to 1d of audio.
8h of this was waiting between files (5 minute wait time). I imagine this could be a lot lower.
This was separated into 100 files.

The system does break with Error: 200 (OK) from TTS API. Probable cause: No audio stream in response. Unsupported language 'en' occasionally.
It looks like some character   was causing this in some places, but it looks like other things are also causing the breakage in a few files. It looks like it breaks on the line with the bad data so it has been ok to debug, but I have no idea why it is breaking for one file. hopefully I just have to filter out all non standard characters.

Been working on a batch convert utility that I will upload after I get these bugs worked out.
