Audiobook

An audiobook is a recording of text. Audiobooks are available in a variety of lengths and formats, most popularly through digital download, which allows people to listen on any smart device.

Spoken audio was first made available in the 1930s on vinyl records and has seen a resurgence in recent years with the proliferation of smartphones and other portable devices. As the medium has gained listeners—with people looking to read while driving, exercising, cleaning house and more—it has expanded past recordings of published books to work crafted exclusively for audio.

There’s a world of a difference between reading and hearing. I mean, you extract the same juice out of the fruit of knowledge – whether it’s coming off pod or page. But with audio, I like hearing the sound of someone else’s voice. I like having a guide with me through the maze. And I can also do other things while I listen, whereas when I read, that’s it. There’s no multitasking there and I ain’t got no time for that.
T.L. Huchu, The Library of the Dead
