Does anyone listen to them regularly? Ive just bought a cheap portable cd player of ebay and ive just bought an audio book. The idea is for me to listen to it in bed to try and send me to sleep

Downloads on iTunes are costly but I listen while traveling means I can still "read" as much as I'd like with no interruptions

I download audiobooks for the same reason, to listen to and try to sleep.

It's the way I read books now days. I tried to use them to help me sleep with little effect. I use a white noise generator now which seems to work better.

I used to when I had a cassette player in my car

We also sell loads of them at the charity shop so they are still very popular remember some cant read anymore with bad eyes etc so listening to it via cassette is a fantastic idea

They have to be on cd as i dont have a smart phone or no anything about mp3 players. Thats why i bought a cheap cd player from ebay.

When i get my tablet hopefully it will change and i will get into the 21st century lol

I thought they would be an easy way of catching up with books I wanted to read, but I found it a bit boring, much prefer to actually read a book myself.

Have used them a few times, great when I want to knit or crochet as I can't use my hands for both reading and doing.

Well worth it, however it can take a lot longer, but I'm quite a fast reader.

I'm listening to Mill on The Floss at the moment I love audio books because you can do other things while listening ...(no not that!)

My dad is losing his sight and was so upset that he could no longer read, audio books have gone a little way to compensating for that.

Don't have time to browse through charity shops or read books. Just want to know some of the classics like Dickens and Shakespeare and it's easier for me that way. Once I've listened to all the ones I want to hear I'll just cancel my account.
