Mountain Audio Books

Audiobooks, and Talking Books, are recordings of a book or other written work being read out loud. A reading of the complete text is described as 'unabridged', while readings of shortened versions are 'abridged'. Spoken audio has been available in schools, libraries and music shops since the 1930s.

Who Wants Audiobooks?

You do! Listening to an Audiobook can be as good as reading. There are some people who have an easier time paying attention when they read a physical book, but other people have an easier time paying attention when they use an Audiobook instead. Audiobooks are great because you can multi task, listen to the intonation of the narrator, and focus your eyes elsewhere, or nowhere. Audio books are a great alternative to the radio while walking or driving as you are guaranteed to hear material to your liking, not theirs.

Some of the top benefits of listening to audiobooks include the efficient use of your time, they can help you improve your pronunciation and fluency, and they help people build critical listening skills, including children. There are lots of great audiobooks with a huge selection of topics including science fiction, particularly if they include sound effects, and audiobooks on self-help, mysteries, history and best sellers.

The Difference Between Audiobooks and Talking Books:
On the surface, Audiobooks and Talking Books seem like the same thing. Both have written materials read aloud by professionals and require electronic devices for playback. There are key differences, however, mainly in overall accessibility, ease of function, and price. Talking Books are specifically designed for people with vision loss, with equipment and titles easily requestable. Via the National Library Service’s program, people can get the necessary equipment for Free, and choose books over the phone to be mailed to them, also for Free.
