There is no need for special markup to make excellent useful audio books (in
sync with the text).
Check the free eBookIt software at http://www.cottagemicro.com
And check samples of books constructed using that software at:

The books you make can be placed on the Web or copied onto CD.
Flexible, simple, effective.
Best wishes.
