1. Audiobooks save you time and help you pass the time
You can now listen to a novel on your commute, while traveling, or anything. Audio books will help entertain your brain while doing something, and will actually save you time as you now can read virtually anywhere!
2. Audiobooks make reading more accessible
Those who are visually impaired, older, ill, or even those who are not strong readers can still enjoy almost any book that their heart desires.
3. Audiobooks are educational
Offering life enrichment, lessons, and entertainment.
4. Audiobooks improve literacy and vocabulary, especially for children
For children, audiobooks do not need to match a child’s reading level. They can be exposed to books of a higher reading level without even having to see the words so they can be exposed to them and gain an understanding of them and their pronunciation. All without the frustration of getting stuck on that difficult word!
5. Audiobooks save paper!
6. Audiobooks emphasize emotion
Reading a novel with your ears versus your eyes gives you the best understanding of the emotion that is being conveyed through the text by the narrator and characters conveying the intended emotion through their voices and their timing.
7 . Audiobooks are one of the most effective ways of learning a new language
No more guessing of how a word should be pronounced, hear it correctly the first time and learn the language in one of the most effective methods possible.
8. Audiobooks can allow groups to listen all at once and bring groups together
Imagine your family on the drive to the cottage. Instead of one person hogging the book the whole way up or getting tired while reading it aloud, your family can experience the same story all at once and talk about points of discussion.
9. Audiobooks are portable
You can take them anywhere with you, especially if you have an mp3 download – you can put it on your ipod and literally go anywhere and read. (On a run, while mowing your lawn or gardening, cleaning the house, anything).
10. Audiobooks sometimes have their own author narrate them
Giving you the best connection possible to the novel, the author, and the intended message.
