What are audiobooks?

An audiobook is simply a recording that is primarily spoken word, based on commercial printed material. Virtually any book can now be found, online, in audiobook format. The variety is endless. Users can rent books on CD, or download them onto a computer and put them onto most iPods, as well as mp3 players like the Zune player. Audiobooks allow users to "read" more conveniently and with more accessibility - no more heavy books to lug around, and you can read wherever and whenever you please (even while driving in your car).

What are the benefits of audiobooks?

Audiobooks are fast, convenient, and easy to use. They can be used any time of day, no matter the time or place. Using them saves money - purchasing books in print can add up, and prices include mark-ups from book stores and distributors. They also save resources, and are environmentally friendly because no paper is used, so they save trees.

Kids can use audio books as they learn to read, as they provide proper pronunciation as well as allow them to hear the words, while seeing them as well. Also, children who struggle with reading can benefit from audio books. They can read the stories they love, without becoming bored with scanning over line after line. Audio books increase readability of text, enhancing the characters visually as well as through hearing.

Teens who are mainly interested in technology and electronics can stream audiobooks right into their iPods, iPhones, or mp3 players. In this way, your teens can use their favorite digital technology to enhance their learning by broadening their knowledge through digital audio book files.

No longer do older adults have to struggle to see small print text books. Audio books allow them to hear the stories and books, as well as see the adjustable sized text, if they desire. Those with speech or visual disabilities can use audiobooks to read and understand books with an ease they never thought possible.

For the rest of us, reading a book at work, while traveling, working out, or just relaxing on your couch is easier than ever. Which ever type of book you are in the mood for is at your fingertips. Clearly, audio books are a beneficial tool for everyone.
