Audiobooks and E-books


As my wife's book writing heats up, I'd like to talk about books with a tech twist. You see today, thanks to technology, books are now more accessible more than ever. There are a couple of different ways to get this without having to go to the library or bookstore and buying one. Thanks to the internet we can download them. People can purchase them for their e-readers or download them in audiobook format. Either way you get to the new age of reading or listening to books. I personally like listening to audiobooks and because of my hectic schedule I don't have time to read as much, so I can listen when I'm out on the road with either my MP3 or Droid Incredible phone through my car stereo. Now as I am a tech geek this is my preferred way of doing my reading. I also when I can get a chance, download e-books to read if I have time. But to a lot of other people, like my wife, love to just have a book in hand and read. I'm not knocking this because on occasion I like to go old school and read a book. Sometimes just sitting there with a crackling fire flipping through pages is relaxing. You can have your choice of E-readers like the Kindle, B&N E-reader Nook, Ipad, and the list goes on. E-readers are also for the most part environmentally friendly. Saving trees in the process. People can even read newspapers through E-readers. Audiobooks are perfect for people on the go. Some people who workout have a choice to listen to an audiobook instead of music. When I go walking on the track this is what I do. So there are endless ways to stay connected to the literary world. Whether your choice is a book, e-book, or audiobook all will bring you the joy and satisfaction of the genre of book you love without missing a step in today's fast paced world.
