My Grandma has problems reading, her eyes are not as good as they used to be.
I’ve bought her an MP3 player and pre-loaded it with an audiobook, the Thriller Cell by Stephen King. She loves it and has already asked me to get her more books once she will have finished listening to Stephen King, actually it’s Campbell Scott narrating the book.
I’ll certaily be more than happy to do that!
Did you know that you can make your PC read you a book, or your laptop? Just like good old Grandma used to tell you fairy tales and legends, you can now get your PC or Laptop to read you detective stories, romance novels, or self-help books!
Plenty of New York Times Bestseller authors have audio books published, so if you lack the time to read, why not listen to an audio book as you drive to work?
The WMA format allows these WMA books to play on the Windows Mediaplayer. Professional narrators make the text come alive and it’s a real pleasure to listen to!
Obviously you can also easily burn these WMA books to CD, transfer them into an MP3 file and upload it to your MP3 player, the Zune, or through the iTune Manager add them to your iPod. Plenty of possiblities!
You own this great iPod – It has so much storage space you’ll never be able to fill it with just music alone. Here’s a great way to impress your friends and have fun.
Audio Books are hip and you may download them easily from the net. The Audio Books Corner offers over 6’000 audio book downloads
Say you pick a great classic, an audio book by Shakespeare – the coice is vast, so you pick one or two, download them to your iPod. Have a short cut to the file ready.
Maybe you prefer detective stories or romance novels, download these too and enjoy!
When you’re meeting that snob again, who tried to impress you with his cultural stuff last time you met, just mention as a side note, that you really enjoy Shakespeare and that listening to it helps you relax, then pick the shortcurt mark you have prepared, and let him listen in for 30 seconds….
Can you see how much fun that is? Well, go try it out!
Find audio books. Printed books are beautiful, we love them, but can you read a book and drive? Some people think they can, and how that ends we don’t really want to tell here…..
To download an audio book and have it ready to listen to when you drive is the smarter solution!
With audiobooks you can use otherwise dull time to get entertained. Or you could be learning a foreign language for instance. It’s also a lot easier to have audio files that you can load on to your MP3 player, rather than having to lug CDs and a bulky CD player.
