Books on Tape…I mean CD…I mean iPod…I mean Kindel…I mean…

With our lives becoming more and more busy, many people are finding less time to sit down and read a good book. It seems to take a major best seller, like Harry Potter or Twilight, to get any teens to even consider entering a bookstore or library. The convenience of Amazon and the invention of Kindle have helped somewhat, but there is another way for individuals to read books without taking up time in their busy schedules. It is simple to download audio books online. Many individuals download them onto their mp3 players. If you have a smart phone you can use a specialized audiobook player application. As the graphic below shows, the most common place people listen to audio books, is in the car. Whether it is on a road trip or work commute, audio books pass time and provide a way for people to gain knowledge. There is much information that can be gleaned from listening to books and it can also help improve grammar and vocabulary skills. We recently stumbled upon Ambling Books where there are many free audio books online, in fact they have compiled a list of twenty available audio books, free! This is not a comprehensive list, but is a valuable list to get started listening to some of the most popular books ever written. Check out their site for their full selection!
