Does anybody of you have experiences with audio books?How do you like them?Is it the same like reading books, or just it doesn't have the same charm?
i am really thinking about purchasing one, but I want to see some opinions about them at first.

My husband belongs to Audible.com and you can get some good audio books there. Only get the non-abridged ones, not the abridged ones. It is different from reading a book, since you are listening to it, but it is not inferior unless you get the abridged versions. The readers of the books are professionals and some can even mimic the voices of the characters in the book and the readers are chosen for the type of books. For instance, if you listen a Louis Lamour book, he will speak with a Western twang, if you listen to Harry Potter, he will speak in an English accent, etc. You can also buy audio books at your bookstore, especially the larger chains. What my husband does is to convert them to mp3 format so he can read them on the computer or in his car while he is driving. We have an mp3 player in our car.

If you have poor eyes, or the light is low because you have a husband who is near sighted and does not need the light on as bright as you do, and if you do not, and you are driving, you can listen to the audiobook rather than try to find a station with some good music or good audio on it.

So go for it!

When going on a long car trip, our family likes to listen to audio books. It helps to pass the time. We check them out from the library before we go.
