Audiobooks?

Drea

I have been trying to find out how to go about buying audiobooks. I like to read but feel ill when I read on a bus (have to be looking out the window) so thought that audiobooks on my ipod might be a good idea while travelling to/from work.

I have seen audible.com but £7.99 per month for ONE book a month seems a bit much? Is there a cheaper website for them? I'd quite like to buy The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini first.

Also, what is the difference between abridged and unabridged?

Abridged means that the book has been shortened or adjusted to a spoken form better for the audio book.

Unabridged are better for those that want the experiance of reading a book, useing the mind to picture the sceen etc Abridged are for those that want to listen to the story. Itsall about personal preferance.

I have bought audio books from waterstones in the past on CD and converted them to MP3 and put them on my mp3 player. there are other sources for mp3's

I like audio books too. I usually get them on CD from my library. Don't think they can legally be uploaded to an IPOD;)

So is it easy to get them from a CD to an ipod?

Hia, You can hire audio books from your local library. Best of luck.
