For most of us, our first pleasure of books was experienced not by reading them but by a loving parent, an older sibling or a sitter reading to us. As evening approached our thoughts may have drifted to the story we wanted read to us. Although we often resisted going to bed, being read to was the reward for getting into our PJs and brushing our teeth.
Night after night along with bedtime kisses, our favorite book, we fell asleep to the words of A.A. Milne, Aesop, Margaret Wise Brown, Louisa May Alcott... We loved hearing about Elmo, Sesame Street, Mother Goose, Jack & Jill, animals, the circus, fire trucks, dinosaurs, trains, nursery rhymes...
As we grew older we lost the pleasure of hearing stories. It’s time to experience the pleasure of being read to again. Think audiobooks.
For many years audiobooks were only available on cassette. The Books on Tape Company became a prominent source of audio books on cassette and even now, many refer to books on tape whether they are on cassette, compact disc or other formats. Audiobooks are alive and well with over 500 new titles being published each month to satisfy just about any listener and buying audio books online is as easy as a few mouse clicks.
Audiobooks are no longer for the eyesight challenged. Busy people and commuters are discovering audio books and those who are dyslexic are finding them valuable tools for improved learning. The audiobook & audio products industry is growing as more people are discovering the joys and benefits of listening.
We have 1000s of audio books on cassette, compact disc, MP3 CD, and iofy bookchip at EVERYDAY discounts and offer 85,000+ digital downloadable audio book products through our affiliation with Audible.com. |
