Why listen to Audiobooks?
 

Human Beings have long had an oral tradition, or put differently an Audio tradition.. As Hunter Gathers 20,000 years ago we used to sit around the campfire listening to stories. Stories were passed on from generation to generation. The invention of the printing press put a stop to a lot of oral tradition, but the AudioBook brings it back. Adults and Children love having stories read to them. Audio books are in that Hunter Gather oral tradition.

AudioBooks offer more opportunity to "read" a book. You don't have to sit down to read a book, you can listen to an audio book on the move. You can listen to audio books when you are doing something else. Many people get terribly car sick (well car sick, bus sick, plane sick...any kind of motion sick), and for them there is no way to read a book while in a car or a bus (or anything moving). An audio book is fantastic on  along car/bus/plane/boat journey. The just time flies as you are taken away on an imaginary journey that is just like reading (except you can keep you eyes closed).

Audio Books are great when you are doing boring things. AudioBooks can take your mind away from menial tasks. When you do the vacuuming, cleaning the house .... Take an audio book while you do the gardening, taking a walk ..
 

Audio Books bring the book to people who might not like to read, or find it hard to read.

Audio Books are great for children on long car trips, boys (its usually boys) who don't like to read - get them to listen to an adventure AudioBook and they will be hooked. - Good for older people with failing eyesight. Sitting in hospital, or recuperating from an illness can be much more enjoyable listening to AudioBooks. Truck Drivers and other long distance drivers often use AudioBooks for fatigue management. Its a great way to keep you alert and attentive on a long drive.

Audio Books on Tape

Tape Audio Books have been around the longest. Advantages are, that they are very robust. You can have them rattling around in your car for long trips and play them many times, and they will be fine. Libraries lend out audio books in tape format for this reason. Some older titles are only available on tape. Disadvantages are, that new books are harder to get in tape format now. If you can get Audio Books in tape format they are harder to get, and sometimes will only be in abridged format.

Audio Books on CD

Audio Books on CD are now the most common Audio Book format available online, and are generally easier to obtain than Tape Audio Books. CD AudioBooks can also be converted to mp3 format. Unabridged Audio Books are more commonly available now online, resulting in some very large books now being available in Audio Books format - for example Eldest by Christopher Paolini is 20 CDs! totaling 23.5 hours of Audio Book!. Harry Potter Audio Books also have between 10 and 20 disks. The disadvantage of Audio Books on CD however is that despite what we were told when CD's where introduced years ago, they are not very tough. You need to keep the CD's protected, and I suggest that when you travel with a CD Audio Book you buy a separate CD holder with soft sleeves that you can protect your CD Audio Book with. They are better protection than the boxes the CD Audio Books come in. Some Language Learning Audio Books come with a CD holder included
 
Digital Downloads

Audio Books that are are downloaded from online services like iTunes and Audible are fine, but have some drawbacks. They have strong digital rights protection which means you can only play them on certain players. If you download from iTunes you can only play your audiobook on your iPOD, and you cannot give your audio book to anyone else, because it will not play on their iPOD. The audiobooks that many audiobook download sites list are not always available to Australians. You might find a new US title that you like, only to find it is not available to Australia, and may not become available for several years. Some publishers do not allow their audiobooks to be available in downloadable format, so the range is not as great..
