What kind of an audio book to buy?
The modern technology gives us the opportunity to "open" the
existing concept of a book. Nowadays, in addition to reading a
book in the old fashioned way, one can listen to audio book in
one of at least 3 methods: An audio book on a cassette, an audio
book on a CD or an audio book in the format of a MP3 or other
audio file. In this article we will examine the different
parameters that one should consider when buying a new "book": 1.
Size and Weight - The smaller and lighter, the better. Carrying
a big and heavy book could by a hassle. In this parameter the
most modern method is certainly the best one - one can have
several books on one MP3 player like an Ipod. The next audio
book methods according to this parameter in a descending order
are audio books on a cd and audio books on cassettes (one book
can be converted into more than 20 cassettes).
2. Comfort - In this parameter the opinions are varied. Most
claim that the new MP3 audio books are the most convenient ones.
The disadvantage is that one can continue listening to the audio
book only from the exact point he stopped at the last time.
That's why some still
insist that there is no real substitute to
the convenience of the old fashioned books.
3. Price - The price varies according to the different titles.
In general, audio books on MP3 files are the cheapest. Audio
books on CD and on cassettes are more expensive. None of them
clearly costs more. Comparing to the old fashioned book, we find
that it usually costs the same as the audio book on a MP3 file.
4. Variety - All the bestsellers could be found on the different
methods of the audio books. However, most of the books are
published only on the old fashioned way - the printed one. Yet,
In the past couple of years, the amount of new audio books is
growing rapidly.
Each one should take into account the different parameters and
make his decision. We assume that most of the people will find
that the best audio book method for their need is the MP3 audio
book.
