I also discovered another wonderful way to use audiobooks: listening to them as I fall asleep. I often want to read myself to sleep, but my eyes are so tired. Audiobooks let me curl up in the blankets with the lights off. When I start to doze, I turn off my iPod and toss it onto the night stand. Needless to say, I'm getting a lot of "reading" done by listening to audiobooks.

First of all Audiobooks are real slow, don't have that much of patience in me. Secondly, when I am reading I like to get lost in the book and the world in it, which does not really happen with audiobooks.

There is a way to make the audiobooks go faster. On my iPod, as long as the format is listed as "audiobook" rather than "mp3" on iTunes, I can change the pace of the audio to "faster" or "slower." The default speed is too slow for me, too.V_bansal2912 wrote:The real thing! Always!
