Audio books Vs. The old fashioned books
In the last two decades a new concept has arisen - The concept
of listening to a book instead of reading it. The audio book
technology is still developing but audio books are getting more
and more popular. However, the old fashioned book is still the
much more common than any other method. In this article we will
elaborate on the differences between these two book methods:
1. Size and Weight - The audio book does not have the limitation
of the the size and the amount of the printing words. The
technology advance imposes the size of the audio book. The
newest audio books could be stored as an audio file in mobile
electronic devices as Ipod or Palm pilot.
2. Convenience - The audio book has the limitation of listening
only from certain predefined points or from the exact point one
stopped listening the last time. Reading an old fashioned book
is much more flexible of course. If you only want to go through
a book without reading it from start to end, do not even
consider getting an audio book.
3. Listening to an audio book could be done anywhere anytime -
while
exercising in the gym, driving through the heavy traffic
to work etc. It helps you make the most of your time. Reading
the old fashioned book requires certain conditions like
concentration and quiet and relaxed surroundings.
4. Price - Surprisingly, in general the old fashioned books
costs less than audio books. Depending on the different titles
and different methods of audio books it can vary. Among the
audio books, audio books on MP3 files are the less expensive
ones.
5. The experience - the experience of reading a book is unique
and can not be the same as listening to audio books. In
addition, audio books do not have drawings in them like some of
the old fashioned books.
Summing up, we believe that audio books and the old fashioned
books could exist together one besides the other and not one
instead of the other.
