Top Audio Books
Audio books are making it big in the market, since people don't have time to sit and read most times. Although it is sad that people don't read paperbacks anymore, audio books aren't a bad alternative. At the end of the day, a book is book, be it in audio format or a written one. Personally I love to read, I don't know what I would do without text. Being on the run doesn't give you room to pack in books when you're traveling. It weighs down on you, taking up a lot of space. So the easiest way to carry books with you, is through audio. By the hundreds, these CDs/downloads can comfortably take up space in your duffel bag, or in your audio enabled gadget. Find out which top audio books are making it big among audio book listeners and which ones are the top selling audio books, that you must get your 'ears' on.
