Listening to audio books is a really terrific way to enjoy all kinds of books during those times of the day when stopping to sit down and read a book is not an option. An audio book gives the listener hours and hours of entertainment or instruction, or sometimes both at the same time. They are great for people of all ages and make a long road trip a more interesting and fun experience, instead of being boring and dull.

One of the best benefits of a book in audio format is that is can be listened to at anyplace and anytime. It is a favorite companion for people while they are traveling, commuting, exercising, shopping, working in the garden, or even dusting and vacuuming the house. Using headphones with your favorite audio book player allows you to listen and absorb the information no matter what might be going on around you.

Even if you have a quiet environment for listening to your favorite audio book, sometimes wearing headphones or using ear buds can help you retain the information even better. This is because using headphones while listening to audio books can filter out distractions, improve focus and increase comprehension. In addition, some people simply learn better by engaging their sense of hearing and some students that have trouble often find that their learning improves when they read and listen to a text at the same time.

There are a number of different books in audio format these days that people can choose from. There are audio books on CD, on audio cassette and also as MP3s and any standard CD player, cassette recorder, or MP3 player that you might use to listen to music can function as an audiobook player as well. If you buy a CD audiobook to play in the CD player in your car, then you can also make that same book into an MP3 that can be used on your digital music player, such as an iPod, if you have one. This makes it even more convenient to listen wherever you are and whatever you might be doing.

But, if your car is also equipped with an MP3 player, or with a connection that you can use to make use of your MP3 player in your vehicle, then the best way to buy an audio tome is online. This is because you can download audio books online and this is not only much faster than ordering a cassette or CD audiobook, but it is less expensive as well. If the publishers of audio books don't have to burn the recording onto a CD or copy it onto a cassette, then they save time and money, and they can pass on these savings when you buy an MP3 audiobook. On top of that, you won't have to pay for shipping and handling and you can download your new audio book within minutes.

Regardless of the format of audio book that you want, you will be able to find a vast assortment of titles to choose from. Just about any topic that you can find in printed form can also be found in one audio format or another, although these days there are fewer audio cassette choices.
