Hey readers,
What do you think of audio books? I’ve had very little experience with them to be honest. Most of my books come from discount used book stores, (which Washington DC and Northern Virginia have plenty of, much to my delight.) so I don’t often purchase audio books.
Traditionally, audio books are very pricey, mostly due to materials and production, a new mass market or trade paperback is much more economical than purchasing an 6-10 disk set of a book, and honestly all those disks are a pain to deal with. This weekend I decided to experiment with audible. About 15 dollars a month after your free trial gets you a new audio book a month, so around 15 dollars an audio book. I have not yet paid the monthly subscription, but the free audio book I decided to start with has been great. I downloaded Ready Player One as read by Will Wheaton. The audio book is recorded in great quality, and runs about 16 hours total. It’s been great, I listen to it on the metro, at home while playing video games, and before I go to bed. Near the end of the month I’ll have to decide if it’s worth it to keep up with it and keep listening but for now I’ll keep enjoying the story.
Do you use audio books? What do you think? where do you get yours? Let me know in the comments!
Cheers
-Josh
