Audio Books

Do you listen to Audio Books? What service do you use?

I used to use Audible because I got a free month. I enjoyed it a lot, it was very cool and convenient to listen to on the go.

I don't use audio books at all, I can never concentrate on the story enough when just listening to it. I have to read it and be involved in the book.

Not really. I work in a book store, and the store I work in and all other book stores in Norway are selling less and less audio books. It's a dying breed.

That's still not going to help me read. 😛 I would have to physically read it in order to actually focus on the story, otherwise it's just some dude telling me a boring old story, and knowing and getting distracted easily with that kind of stuff, I would never end up finishing. :lol:

I love listening to audio books while walking around town or if I'm on a long drive some where. If I'm really into a story I even listen to it while I'm cleaning the apartment.

I'm too easily distracted to listen to audiobooks. I've downloaded a free reading of Sherlock Holmes and burn them in a CD for my Dad for his birthday a few years back, though. Shame I forgot the site, it offers free audiobooks of old series that aren't copyrighted anymore. It was called [something]-project, I think. I vaguely remember the site name being German-ish.

I don't use a particular site but I get lucky sometimes and find a free audiobook when I search a specific title by using Google.

I don't listen to Audio Books. I prefer to read at my own pace.

Are you sure it's because you want to read at your own pace or more that you don't really have an opportunity to listen to a story?
