An audiobook is a recording that is primarily of the spoken word based on a
recording of commercially available printed material, It is rather a recorded spoken program in its own right and
not necessarily an audio version of a book.
Audiobooks are considered a valuable learning tool because of their format.since one can learn from an audiobook while doing other
tasks. Self-help audio books range from public speaking to learning meditation.
Their general goal is to develop one's skills to be more happy
and/or successful in life. Audiobooks have been used to teach children to read
and to increase reading comprehension.
Spoken audio was originally primarily available in school and public libraries
and as book publishers entered
the field of spoken-word publishing, the transition to book retailers became commonplace on bookshelves onto a
means of media such as CD Roms or Cassettes, which can be an advantage to the
blind or illiterate.
The popularity of portable music players
has made audiobooks more accessible to people for portable listening.
Audiobooks on cassette or CD are typically more expensive than their hardback
equivalents due to the added expense of recording as are preloaded digital formats
in wich the audio content is preloaded on a small and simple player in a static-state so it is protected from damage.
The shift from CDs and
cassettes to downloadable audiobooks, whilst doing nothing to reduce initial
recording and editing costs, creates further downward pressure on price, by
removing some of the other costs, such as production, packaging and physical
distribution.
