Here are the top five frequently asked questions about audio books
(and the answers of course):
1. Are there free audio books? How do I get them? In one word: NO. In
two words: Not exactly. Depends of the type of audio book you are
looking for (downloadable audio book are cheaper than the other
types), and the audio book title (new audio books cost more), you
could find low cost audio books.
I believe that one should pay for each product or service he gets.
Yet, you could find free audio books mostly by signing up for the free
trials most of the online audio book services give you.
2. What is better – Audio books rental or audio books buying? I
personally prefer audio books rental. Mostly because of the price – I
read a lot of audio books and it will simply cost too much to buy them
all. However, audio books that I really like, Ones that I want to
listen to time after time, I buy and keep them on my audio books
library.
Yet, I have friends who are more possessive – they are not willing to
rent audio books and they must hold a remarkable huge audio book
library.
3. What do you suggest – downloadable audio books, audio books on CD
or books on tape? Well, that's a tough question. Basically, I believe
that the most worthy audio books format nowadays is downloadable audio
books. You must own a media player (e.g. Ipod) to listen to it. Yet,
it costs less than the others and has a better quality.
However, the widest collection of audio books could be found on the
audio books on CD format. If you want to listen to old books you will
find them only on CDs.
I do not recommend getting books on tape (also known as audio books on
cassettes). They are expensive, low quality and not user friendly.
4. When can I read audio books? The answer is - Anytime and anywhere.
Here are a few examples: While cooking, cleaning the house,
exercising, running, walking, driving, flying, before going to sleep,
commuting, working etc.
5. Are audio books expensive? Audio books are not expensive at all. In
fact, Downloadable audio books are very cheap – they cost much less
than real books and renting them is the most worthy deal. Audio books
on CD cost about the same as real books and books on tape are the most
expensive ones.
