With advancements in technology came the new arrival of what is now known as audiobooks. Audiobooks are downloadable and come in many different formats, the two most dominant are MP3 and WMA formats.
Audiobooks can be played on all sorts of media from MP3 players, computers, or other devices that support either or both these formats. Audiobooks have many advantages over normal books as they don’t take up room in your house. You can store hundreds if not thousands of audiobooks on a device like an MP3 player and the only room they take up is megabytes of space on the hard drive of the device. Whereas say 1,000 normal books would take a lot more space in your home than 1,000 audiobooks would.
Audiobooks can be downloaded straight away from the internet. You can go straight to a website find the audiobook you want and simply click to download the file. Depending on the size of the file depends on the time it takes to download but in all, it should not take more than a few minutes to download. As well as an instant download you can almost certainly start listening to the audiobook straight away as long as the device you have plays either MP3 or WMA. On a computer you can play them with your standard media player, it’s that simple. Once the audiobook is on your computer you can start listening to it. There’s no waiting for it to arrive in the post or at your local bookshop.
The audiobook can also be copied over to other devices like MP3 players or copied onto a disc to be played in your stereo system. Once you have downloaded the audiobook file you can make multiple copies of the file and store it on other devices. Since audiobooks come in Mp3 or WMA format they never get torn, wear with age, or get damaged by other substances. They do not get scratched or become unplayable as compact discs do. You can make extra copies or multi copies it makes no difference to the quality of the audiobook.

Listening to audiobooks makes my downtime much more productive. An example is on the commute to work. Instead of listening to mindless radio, I prefer to listen to an audiobook. I work closely with my customers and I enjoy audiobooks on business and relationships. Since I started listening to the audiobooks on my commute, my productivity and bottom line have really taken off.
Think about the time you spend in your vehicle or riding public transportation every day. If you were able to spend 15 minutes a day reading books; how many books do you think you would have read in a year? It’s hard for many people to spend 15 minutes every day reading a book so why not turn your downtime into a more productive experience?
Listening to audiobooks is a very rewarding experience. Also, I find that listening to books makes it easier to comprehend the information. I especially like being able to pause and re-play chapters. Try an audio book and discover a new and exciting way to enjoy books.
One big advantage is that you can listen to these books while doing something else. Turn on the book while you are doing chores or even while driving. There are hours of downtime during the week as well. Many people can get through at least one book a month just by having the book on during these moments making reading much easier when busy.
