Listening to an audio book can be much like listening to a storyteller. The people who record audio books have excellent voices and are trained how to read the books so that they sounds the way they would if you were to read it out loud. Sometimes the publisher will use a different actor for different characters, but most often it will be one person reading the entire book. The actors try to emulate, though, how they believe the character would be talking, which pulls you inside the story and can make you almost hypnotized. We are fortunate that audio books are not only available in tape and CD format, but you can get an audio book in Mp3 format as well.
Audio books in Mp3 format have only come around in the last few years. Before that, publishers used tapes or CDs to record stories on since these were the formats that people were listening to at the time. Anybody could easily find a portable tape or CD player, pop an audio book in and take a walk. Nowadays people tend to use Mp3 players, and for good reason. Mp3 players, first of all, hold much more music and audio book data than the traditional tape or CD did. You can fit hundreds of songs on one memory card and not have to worry that something will be cut off because the tape ended. Songs, and books, can be easily downloaded at one of many different sites available online to do so. Some of the sites offer free downloads for awhile, but you must generally pay for your downloads after a certain point. Audio book Mp3s are also superior because they do not skip, like a tape or CD player would, when you are listening to them. You can listen to them on your computer, through your Mp3 player, or even burn them on to a CD for portability.
