There are more good audios than bad I think, especially if you look for good production companies like Audible.

There are a lot of great audiobooks out there. It is still a small marketplace but its growing!TCC Edwards wrote:I love audiobooks too. Driving to work is much more bearable with a good book on. Some books even sound better than they read - Ender's Game, for example, is better as an audiobook (the author even said so himself). A bad audiobook can ruin a story, though - I once heard a reading of Tehanu, the last Earthsea novel, that was so bad I stopped after 15 minutes.

My sentiments exactly! I have downloaded a few audio books but I find it hard just listening and not doing anything with my eyes. Also, I find the person reading the audiobooks aloud much too slowly for my taste.
IMHO audio books are for those who are reading impaired. Especially the elderly.

Love Audiobooks. However sometimes the person who is reading the book is not that good. Always listen to a sample to see if you like the way it's read. The Harry Potter series read by Stephen Fry I find much better than the other version in my opinion.minnieminx wrote:Hi i have a voucher for audio books but i have never listened to one before and i was wondering if you get the same satisfaction listening to a book rather than reading it. Or i would like to know if you listened to audio books what did you think of it
