Audiobook

Hi....Hi

Do you like going to library, find some interesting books and borrow them home?
I am the one who like reading a book from the library,
you know...a lot of books and free of charge, regardless annual member fee
(if applicable). :)

Reading a book, it takes some times and you can't really do other things at the same time, unless you have ebook with sort of read aloud feature.

Speaking of read aloud feature, it is pretty good technology.
You can do a workout at the gym or cook in the kitchen while listening to your ebook. Moreover if you are on the road trip or the train and always have motion sickness, letting your devices read it aloud for you is an good idea.

However, we have another technology called an "audiobook".
The big different between audiobook and ebook is how it is read.
While ebook with read aloud feature is read by robot, audiobook is read by human. So what make it different? well it is the sound.
ebook is just like a monotone but audiobook is just like somebody is reading for you. For example, there are different tone of voices which depends on the characters or situation like excited, haunted happy,if you are listening to the fiction audiobook.




Now, I'm borrowing "The Hunger Game, Catching Fire" from the local library.
The story is good and how the lady reads this book, I really feel like somebody
is reading me a book. It saves my time, I can cook in the kitchen, take a shower, get dress or do some workout while listening to the audiobook.

If you are interested, log on to your local library website, see if they have an audiobook. To listen to audiobook, your devices are required to install the app or software, but don't worry, I'm quite sure that it is free. 

Besides, the audiobook from local library, there are many audiobook app, that you can download to your smartphone, they have application for all operation system. but it mostly like the application is free but the book costs some money.

So whichever way to access to audiobook, pick what it is convenient for you.
Enjoy the book.
