Five reasons for choosing an audio book

In this fast paced world we live in , many people feel they just don't have enough time to sit down and read a good book . This is just one of many reasons audio books are becoming more and more popular by day by day ?

Example - In 2004, over $124 million worth of audio books were sold in the UK and $120 million in Germany during 2005. Experts say that this year the market is expected to rise by more than 20% in Europe, and audio books seem to be even more popular in the USA.

But why are audio versions a convenient way to "read" a book?

1... You save time, and time today is very precious, 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, mowing the grass,  or at the computer, exercising, and so on. The possibilities are endless!
According to a recent survey, in the USA a person is driving an average of 1 hour and 13 minutes daily, or over 440 hours a year, or 11 full-time work weeks. Incredible!
Imagine how many things you could learn during this time by simply 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 opportunity to read many more books that you would otherwise have time for. On a recent visit to one of the many sites I visit the #1 New Years resolution is to read 50 books this year ! Audio books can help in achieving this target . Audio books are a great way to fill the "dead" moments we all have in our lives.

3... Audio books are good for older, ill or recovering people and can be a wonderful gift for someone in a nursing institution. This is a gift 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 chance 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 enrich 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.
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 definitely 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.
