     Audio books are fashion to our life.We will compare the free audio books with the old fashioned books in this article.

     In the last two decades a new concept has arisen – The concept of listening to a book instead of reading it. The audio book technology is still developing but audio books are getting more and more popular. However, the old fashioned book is still the much more common than any other method. In this article we will elaborate on the differences between these two book methods:

     1. Size and Weight – The audio book does not have the limitation of the size and the amount of the printing words. The technology advance imposes the size of the audio book. The newest audio books could be stored as an audio file in mobile electronic devices as Ipod.

     2. Convenience – The audio book has the limitation of listening only from certain predefined points or from the exact point one stopped listening the last time. Reading an old fashioned book is much more flexible of course. If you only want to go through a book without reading it from start to end, do not even consider getting an audio book.

     Audio books are newly born,so you may have many questions.The 10 questions below will do great help to you.

     1. Are there free audio books? How do I get them?

     In one word: NO. In two words: Not exactly. Depends of the type of audio book you are looking for (downloadable audio book are cheaper than the other types), and the audio book title (new audio books cost more), you could find low cost audio books.

     I believe that one should pay for each product or service he gets. Yet, you could find free audio books mostly by signing up for the free trials most of the online audio book services give you.

     2. What is better – Audio books rental or audio books buying? 

     I personally prefer audio books rental. Mostly because of the price – I read a lot of audio books and it will simply cost too much to buy them all. However, audio books that I really like, Ones that I want to listen to time after time, I buy and keep them on my audio books library.

     Yet, I have friends who are more possessive – they are not willing to rent audio books and they must hold a remarkable huge audio book library.

     3. What do you suggest – downloadable audio books, audio books on CD or books on tape?

     Well, that’s a tough question. Basically, I believe that the most worthy audio books format nowadays is downloadable audio books. You must own a media player (e.g. Ipod) to listen to it. Yet, it costs less than the others and has a better quality.

     However, the widest collection of audio books could be found on the audio books on CD format. If you want to listen to old books you will find them only on CDs. Continue reading »

     Q:What is the definition of audio book?

     A:The audio books are specially crafted to help a person gain knowledge by just listening to the topics. These books can be used anywhere and anytime along with your friends and beloved ones. Just play the audio books while driving to your workplace, or during the lunch time and also during the break timings to keep yourself updated with the latest information. These books are no longer just learning tools but are also used as amusement tools by the kids and the grown ups. Everybody should try to take out sometime, at least to read a page of a book or hear these special books once a day. Reading these books helps to rejuvenate our tired soul and refreshes our mood. These special books generally contain the contents which are read aloud by the authors, or great actors. The reading is done in an impressive manner to appeal the readers of every age. However if they are specially crafted for children, they are dramatized by incorporating soothing music to enthrall the kids and grasp their attention.
