Audio books: Loud, Proud, Unabridged

gsandler writes ” Here
is a story from the New York Times about how audio books are changing reading
habits. "For a growing group of devoted listeners, the popularity of audio books is redefining the notion of reading, which for centuries has been centered on the written word. Traditionally, it is also an activity that has required one’s full attention. But audio books, once seen as a kind of oral CliffsNotes for reading lightweights, have seduced members of a literate but busy crowd by allowing them to read while doing something else."
