Audiobooks (or "The end is in sight ")

With your new MP3 player right around the corner, it’s time to take a look around the web and find some downloadable eAudiobooks.

For this exercise and the last you will have an opportunity to hear a podcast from a voice with a little less southern twang!

Downloadable eAudiobooks are quite popular. Once loaded into your new MP3 player, you can enjoy "reading" on the bus, or on the train, or in your car.

For this discovery exercise, you merely need to familiarize yourself a bit with the structure of Downloadable eAudiobooks and get an idea of the types of titles you can find here. Take a look around and locate a few titles of interest. That MP3 player is right around the corner and once you have it, you’ll definitely have a reason to try out this popular library service.
