22. Audio books

G'day,

To read or not to read that is the question. As the popularity of mp3 players continues to grow and downloading of music is the norm the humble book is in danger.

It is just as easy to find an ebook as it is to find music. With our hectic lifestyles these days and portable players the ebook is looking more attractive to people.

Libraries will need to have a new collection, and the best part is that it doesn't require any extra floor space or shelving. This may also attract those who don't want to visit the library or don't have the time.

Having a look at the Gutenberg Project site there seems to be some classic titles available and being able to download and listen using Media Player or Real Player is a bonus. There is a good choice that's available free.

Me personally, I still prefer to read a book.

See ya
