An Audio Book Is So Convenient!
An audio book is much more convenient than a regular printed book! I've gotten used to the quick downloads and the large files that only weigh a few grams.
Audio Book More Convenient Than A Regular Printed Book!
With audio books you can transport entire libraries with you on your MP3 player and still only carry a small gadget the size of paket of cigarettes or less. That's especially convenient if you go for a longer trip and need 'mental food' in form of literature or business books for more thant just a day or two. On today's MP3 players you can easilystore ten or more audio books and still have enough space for your favourite music. I know a friend who has his audio bible with him at all times and he would not want to miss it anymore.

I received this audiobook as a gift. And what a gift it was! I thouroughly enjoyed all of the stories, especially "Meeting Famous People" and "The Babe." These are all warm, witty stories, and Keillor's voice is wonderful to listen to. I am looking forward to hearing some of his other works. -- C. Spencer (Colorado Springs, CO United States)

Audio Book
An audiobook is a recording that is primarily of the spoken word as opposed to music. While it is often based on a recording of commercially available printed material, this is not always the case; nor is this required to fit the definition of an audiobook, which is why "audiobook" is one word rather than two. It was not intended to be descriptive of the word "book" but is rather a recorded spoken program in its own right and not necessarily an audio version of a book.
Spoken audio was originally primarily available in school and public libraries and to a lesser extent in music shops. It was not until the 1980's that there began a concerted effort to attract book retailers. As book publishers entered the field of spoken-word publishing, the transition to book retailers carrying audiobooks became commonplace on bookshelves rather than in separate displays. To put it simply, it is the context of a regular book read and recorded onto a means of media such as CD Roms or Cassettes, which can be an advantage to the blind or illiterate.
