Audio Books - A Convenient Way To Read
Did you know that audio books are becoming more and more popular by each day?
For example, in 2004, over $124 million worth of audio books were sold in the UK and $120 million in Germany during 2005.
But why are audio versions so convenient?
To start off, audio books are a convenient way to read.
why? Here are 5 reasons
1) You save time, because you can listen to an audio book anywhere and everywhere, and you can even do other things at the same time. You can listen when driving to and from work, when walking the dog, cycling, working around the house or at the computer, exercising, and so on. The possibilities are infinite. According to a recent study, in the USA a person is driving an average of 1 hour and 13 minutes everyday, which means over 440 hours a year for each driver, or 11 full-time work weeks. This is huge! Visualize how many things you could learn during this time by only having your MP3 player with audio books at hand.
2) If you love reading but don't have a enough time, audio books can give you the possibility to read much more books that you would otherwise have time for. audio books are a great way to fill the "dead" moments we all have in our lives.
3) Audio books are good for senior, ill or recovering people and can be a wonderful present for someone in a nursing home. This is a present they can remember and enjoy time after time.
4) Audio books can be a blessing for blind people, disabled people or people with impaired vision. Everyone should have the possibility to experience and enjoy a book and in many cases, this is the only way for such persons to do it. Spoken books can help these people improving their education, help them developing new hobbies and habits and greatly enriching their life, both personally and professionally.
5) The most important skill a child can ever acquire is probably the ability to read, and audio books can be easily used to stimulate literacy in children. Audio books can be listened to by children while following the story in the paper book. Or they could listen just to gain and improve vocabulary and communication skills. If you want to instill in your child the love of reading, audio books can be a excellent start. There are many more benefits of using audio books, but even these few reasons should be enough to convince you to enter the exciting world of the spoken books.
