Audio Books History - Part 1: Vynil LP's
Audio Books were bulky and to play them was complicated at first
Audio books are a great way to use 'idle' or 'dead' time. Load an audio book into your MP3 player, Zune, Crative or iPod - you can find audio books for just about any interest, from novels to business books and audio books about self-improvement to even the bible or the coran. You can find audiobooks 24 hours a day, just by clicking a few buttons on your computer and an internet shop delivers the contents for your iPod or MP3 player conveniently and immediately to you.
The concept of audio books goes back about eighty years. Initially books on tape or on LP's were produced for the blind. Here's a short look back in history:
Already in the early 1920's, the Royal National Institute for the Blind in England (RNIB) initiated research to develop the best solution to produce audio books for the many blind soldiers that were hurt in World War I battles. The institute finally decided to produce audio books on vynil LP's and the first ones were manufactured in 1926. It was complicated to play these LP's. They were put on old fashioned LP players that had to be cranked by hand and delivered sound through the big horn.
This was a great development for the blind, but because of the complicated precedure, these LP's were hardly used by normal consumers. That's why these audio books on LP's from RNIB remained a niche product and never reached the masses.
The concept as such was successful and in 1936 the Royal National Institute for the Blind launched the 'Talking Book Service'. The first two books they produced were:'The murder of Roger Ackroyd' (Agatha Christie) and 'Thyphoon' (Joseph Conrad). Because the records could only hold 25 minutes of spoken text, an average audio book had to be recorded on an average of ten records. Just imagine the mass of material to lug around ...
During WWII, the studio used by the RNIB was bombed, and one month later a replacement studio was bombed as well, destroying the needed equipment to continue the production. The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB), who had themselves started to produce audio books in the USA sent replacement parts and equipment to London so that the production could be taken up again.

Audio Books History - Part 2: Cassettes and CD's - now MP3
The blazing development from Vynil to MP3
Later the old fashioned LP's were replaced by modern LP's and finally cassettes, making listening to audio books more convenient.
Sony's Walkman made it possible to take your audio book with you and to listen to audibooks on the go. This is when audio books started to be bought by the general consumers and not only by sight impaired customers. The next step was to produce these listening books on CD, making them even more convenient.
Over the last few years the audio book technology has made a quantum leap: Many digital MP3 files can be packed onto a player that weighs only a few grams and runs on a set of batteries for many hours. The most popular player is without doubt the Apple iPod, but there are many other MP3 players on the market that have helped to make listening to audio content on the go very popular.
Finding an audio book is as easy as typing an address into your internet browser, consulting the catalog of the online audio book shop and then immediately downloading your audio book within minutes. You don't need to visit your local library or book shop anymore. If you want to shop at 3 am - no problem, the shop is open 24 hours!
One shop that offers a wide variety of audio books is the Audio Books Online Shop. High quality audio books from publishers like BBC, Hachette and many others cover a wide variety of topics. Best selling authors offer their books as audio books and the well known foreign language courses by Pimsleur are available for download too.

How Pwople find this 'Audio Books' page
What search words people use to get to this page:
To listen online to free audiobooks is great for a start, but then it would be much nicer to be able to listen to an Agatha Christie audio book whilst on the move. There are quite a few Agatha Christie online books, i.e. form the project Gutenberg, and the BBC have produced a number of Agatha Christie radio plays. You will however quickly realize, that search terms like 'bbc audio books free download' and 'bbc audiobooks free download' will not bring up much useful content (downloads audio) when you enter them in Google or an other Search engine. What might bring much better results is a seach of 'download free agatha christie novels podcasts'. Some people take the pain of reading entire Agatha Christie novels and then publish them as their own podcasts.
I've had some succes by looking for 'downloadable audio books for the blind for free' or with 'books on tape to listen to online for free'. It would seem that this search should also bring up good results: 'find audiobooks online for free', but it did not really... - and if you're looking for any Harry Potter free books, forget it. Neither 'harry potter audiobooks free download' nor 'harry potter book online to listen' resulted in any useful audio book. You are more likely to find an audio book 'The secret'.
Shakespeare is most likely one of the most sought after writers online. One would think that such 'old' books would not be read much anymore, but that's not so! 'hamlet free online audio' and 'hamlet online audio' are but two popular ways to find audio stories for 'Julius Caesar' to listen. Look for book or play monologues online free. Audio books free radio theatre mp3 english. Shakespeare is still in the audiobook top 10.
An other great classic is Anna Karenina audiobook online. It's a lot more difficulto to find an Anna Karenina free downloadable audiobook. And then not to forget all the audiobooks by Hemingway, as mp3 download. One used to refer to audio books as books on tape free down load. Hemingway Ernest audiobooks are still very popular. Also Dickens audiobooks are still very much in demand.
Children's online books, that are well narrarated can fascinate them for hours on end. Audiobooks for a kid come sometimes also as samples to allow testing the dowload mp3 books. You can down load audio books free and let them enjoy these great childrens stories over and over again. Look for 'downloadable audio samples children books'. An other great hit with children is the audiobook 'Lord of the Rings'. This si a god term to look for this particular audio book: 'audio books free downloads of lord of the rings'.
If you are more business oriented, then you're more likely to look for audio books download "Winning" Jack Welch, I find this is one of the best audiobooks for drives.
Language students often seek freedownload books of Pimsleur. This great language learning audio system is very succesful in teachin people languages in a short time. If you're looking for French Pimsleur, 'french audiobooks free', 'french audiobooks' or 'free download french online audio tape for free' might bring up useful resources. For ESL students, 'english audio books for ipod', 'english audio books on-line free', 'english books to listen free mp3' or 'english secret online download' could be helpful. If you're more in to Spanish or Jpanaese, try these: 'audio book free japanese', 'bbc spanish book free download' or 'audio spanish books ipod free'.
More recent fiction audio free online authors also are publishing audio novels online, so you could try them in this way: 'James Patterson audio books', 'Janet Evanovich audio book online' or 'Janet Evanovich one for the money', 'downloadable books on cd Janet Evanovich', 'download free Janet Evanovich book on mp3', 'download free Linda Howard', 'downloadable Linda Howard mp3 audio books', 'Elizabeth Lowell audio books', 'download Dean Koontz online free of charge'. I'm sure you see the pattern. Using 'free' in the search might sometimes really bring up a free audio book. Often the free ones are not really very good, so it might be reasonable to download the commercial version, produced by a reputed editor like i.e. BBC Audiobooks and narrated by a good narrator. Book narration is something that needs a lot of experience. Downloading Dean Koontz narrator can be very enjoyable. Audio books narrated by stephen rea are a real pleasure to listen to. Audio romance novels for mp3 player or christian audiobook for the Zune are a lot of fun.
