Get lost in a thrilling detective novel.

Listen to classical poems and fairytales...

The main advantage of audiobooks is that you can sit back, relax and LISTEN.

Let's face it, listening to audio isn't a brand new concept - 62 years ago, George Orwell wrote about using radio to popularise poetry!

Audiobooks are an expansion of this idea and can be a simple recording of spoken words while reading from a book or a full bore production just like a Hollywood Blockbuster movie.

Tapes are still being used, however personal hand held devices like portable CD players, MP3s and the iPod are well on their way to taking over completely.

Today, audio dramatizations (also available in audiobook format) use multiple performers, little or no narration, music, and sound effects.

The BBC also has a long history of radio dramas and its 13-hour adaptation of The Lord of the Rings features a formidable cast, a beautiful score, and well-produced sound effects.

Maybe you're thinking aren't books meant to be read?

Reading is much more complex in terms of appreciating the simple element of storytelling inherent in the writing because many books have pictures, symbols, puzzles, or details that the reader can pause to think over.

Details can enrich writing, reading can engage interaction within a personal experience.

Well, having said that...there is growing proof that people above 45 years of age are the leaders fueling market demand, but clearly, other followers are diving into audiobooks.

What if you could go back 20 years and start all over with the knowledge you have now?

What if you had a "living audiobook library"...

Advocates of the audiobook movement argue that one of the best uses of an audiobook is the ability to listen when commuting, washing the dishes, or walking in the park.

People do not have time to read books otherwise and thanks to audiobooks, they seem to complete more books in a shorter span of time.

When reading a book, there's many hidden aspects of personality, intuition and visual impressions that are formed about particular characters, the narrative, and the very tone and ‘voice' of the writing.

All these elements represent the written word and in an audiobook these elements simply cannot come through.

Publishers of audiobooks agree that listening to audiobooks has improved general literacy, but perhaps written composition and spelling are aspects that are sadly overlooked, not to mention the fact that reading develops a natural flair for writing.

There's no doubt that for the visually impaired, an audiobook is extremely useful, and for this purpose, their production should be encouraged.

On the other hand, the audiobook can be effectively used for many other different benefits, the foremost being the idea of books written for audio or dramatizations.

As children, our parents would have read books to us and this is often a traditional way to share time together...it's the feeling of being in control of one's own time.

What if having to work less meant you've got more time in a tailor-made experience while increasing your results?

Audiobooks also make unique and perfect gifts for all occassions and a worthy addition to your home library.
