Audio Books

Audiobooks are recorded spoken words in a book-like format. Pretty much all popular novels today are read by specialized readers and recorded into the audiobook format. Then they are uploaded online where interested people can download them and listen to the audiobooks on their computers or ipods.

Audiobooks are becoming increasingly popular as portable music players proliferate. This allows people who do not usually read to listen to books and learn what they would have missed out on before.

There are hundreds of sites offering free and cheap audibooks online. A simple search for audio books yields over 77 million results!
