An article from the Washington Post tells of a nationwide network of audiobooks, and a teacher that records them. The company that is producing the audiobooks, Books In Motion has more than 1,3000 titles in over 300 truckstops.

The article also states that audiobooks are a $2 billion plus business with over 166 companies. Here\'s the full story.
