Audible.com Description:
One of the joys of living in a world where technology is rapidly advancing is the opportunity to see something old made new again. Sometimes, new technology supplants the old. Other times, the two coexist. Occasionally, the two merge and become something altogether different. These are the most fun. One of the primary examples of this marriage of old and new can be found at Audible.com. At Audible, you may purchase a service that allows you access to a vast library of downloadable audio books, as well as a plethora of periodicals. You can even download a variety of radio programs. This service allows you to access this material in a number of ways. You can listen to it directly via your computer. You can record or burn it onto a CD. You can download it to any AudibleReady player, such as a Pocket PC or an iPod. All of these options are yours for a reasonable monthly fee. The selection here really is unbelievable. Fiction, nonfiction, arts, entertainment, science, business, self-help
all of these are strongly represented at Audible.com. Imagine being able to hear Stephen King read to you while youre working out. Learn French while driving to and from work. Catch All Things Considered while you unwind after work, even though you missed it when it aired a few hours ago. Enjoy the site-exclusive musings of Robin Williams and his friends. Hard to believe that you can do all of these things. In a world that can be as tightly scheduled as this one, isnt it nice to know that there are still ways for you to enjoy the words that you love? Thats what Audible.com brings to the table; its a service whose time has come.
