What is an Audiobook?

An audiobook is, quite simply, a book that you listen to. Technology has completely revolutionized the ways you can listen. Most home computers are adequate for listening to an audiobook, or you can listen using an iPod, Zen, Zune, iRiver, PSP, etc. People listen in their cars on long commutes, or at home in their leisure time or while doing mind-numbing work.

Many audiobooks are released episode by episode. Typically, a 30-minute episode gets released each week, and the book runs for several months or even most of a year. It can be great fun listening to an audiobook in this way, and it’s easy to subscribe to an audiobook so that new episodes are automatically delivered to you as they become available. That’s the beauty of podcasting.

And the best thing of all, it’s all free!
