Audio Books

Everyone loves to read! I personally wish i had more time to read or could stick it out with a book without being distracted by gadgets or something or another to spend my money on. The problem with reading is that you need to really be in the mood to flick pages and it is not easy to keep your eyes open after a long day at work.

I came across audible.co.uk. This company provides audio books for you to download to your computer, ipod or even phone. After listening to six hours or so of Wilbur Smiths Blue Horizon, i must say i was pretty impressed. Most books are about £10 - 30 each and can either come in a bridged or unbridged format ( Shorten or original length).

If you sign up and pay £7.99 a month you get a book free each month. There is no minimum contract, so you can cancel at any time. Also, there is no restrictions on what book you can pick or the cost of it. If you decide to cancel your subscription, you still have access to your online library where your previous purchases are stored -for life. They can be burnt to CD and even streamed online. I think this is definitely worth a look if your looking to rest your eyes.
