Audiobooks.com: Get audiobooks

Currently travelling around the world, I spend long hours on buses and flights with tired eyes and a restless attitude. I have for the past few days discovered the wonder of Audiobooks. I have been listening to Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, a book that is so large and intimidating that I have found so hard to commit past the first two chapters every time I picked it up despite loving it each time. I read all the time, some would say too much for my own good but Outlander has been a scary prospect. Not only is the first book a monster but the rest of the looong series is too. Reading it through Audiobooks as I am on buses, trains and the subway working my way around Taiwan has been an incredible experience. I feel so accomplished and don’t feel the same pressure as I did when turning the first few pages over with the looming chunk of pages in my back hand. The reading and accents is fantastic and really immersed me into the book with the impossible Scottish accent, much better than my own attempts would have ever been. I deeply recommend Audiobooks!

So happy I found the audiobooks app! I used to read a lot and I definitely miss books. Just like most of us, I have limited free time, and hence never get round to the pile of books I have lined up to read. I was really keen to read “Breaking the habit of being yourself” by Dr Joe Dispenza, but after many months of barely touching the book, beside my bed, I had an idea. ‘See if I can get a hold of an audiobook for my phone.’ Now I can take advantage of those moments when I am free (but don’t have my book with me), and also make use of the time when commuting to and from work to squeeze in my “book time” via the audiobooks app. I especially love that I can now enjoy a book via the app whilst still doing my arts and crafts. Modern technology at its finest.

Audio Books has turned my previous frustration of the daily commute to & from my office or meetings into my new classroom. I actually look forward to getting in the car & digesting information from any manner of business & leadership related authors. Additionally, when someone previously recommended a book to me, more often then not I’d forget the title when it came to my next purchase. Now I say “hold on a moment” & immediately download or add it to my wish list. Cannot rate Audiobooks highly enough. Emily

I’ve got a baby at home that has just started crawling. She demands all my attention and I’m happy to give her what she needs. It’s also nice to have something for me. Playing an audiobook in the background not only serves my intellectual needs but also provides soothing tones for my baby to listen to. The audio can be paused and restarted whenever convenient. No need to find your page. Currently listening to Unconditional Parenting, a great book on the misconception around raising children. A real eye opener.

Great and very easy to use app that I’ve been utilising on my commute to work from my iPhone. I’ve always been a book reader but I’m now a convert to audiobooks. Started with the audiobook ‘The Subtle Art of Giving a F’ by Mark Manson, and I’m just really enjoying the whole process of listening to an audiobook rather than reading a physical book. The voice narration is really engaging and easy to listen to. With plenty of titles to choose from, I’m looking forward to listening the next audiobooks on my list!
