Gone are the days where learning to read and write was compulsory to acquiring knowledge; not anymore because of the technology of audio books. Apart from just acquiring knowledge, audio books help to make fun and entertainment literature much easier to digest than is the case of reading hardcover novels.
More people now prefer to buy audio books instead of physical hardcover books because of the extreme comfort they derive from listening. It's now increasingly difficult to find a book title that doesn't come in audio book format and physical book format.
Many will agree what a great time saver it would be to "listen" to a book rather than "read" it, especially when one "listens" while driving a car or truck. Thanks to audio books, one that doesn’t have time to read can now "listen" to audio books and gain knowledge.
Children, adults and even the oldies won't like to read a book now if there is the audio book format -- I hope this isn't going to be the end of the reading era. Also, since hardcover and paperback books are a lot more expensive to produce than audio books, it won't be surprising if audio books become more popular than other book formats.
One other advantage of audio books that hardcover and paperbacks don't have is the fact that audio books help in nature conservation. Audio books also give one the opportunity to listen to educational material while still doing everyday household chores.
Light or not, audio books can be listened to, unlike normal paperback or hardcover that can't be read during the dark. From the many advantages contained above you can understand the sudden craze for audio books over hardcover and paperback books; it's now time to also join in the craze by buying your own book titles in audio books.
