What are sound books?

One of the great advantages of being able to record sound is to make books available for listening. With the advent of sound recordings, many people were able to hear literary classics to read aloud and experience them for the first time. As sound technology has changed, sound books have also changed. They are no longer available on volumes consisting of 14 or 15 vinyl LPs. Books are now available on a sound cassette or CD.

Talking books are books created for the use of visually impaired. They are produced in different formats and some need a special player. Many visually impaired people are able to receive free players and these machines allow them to play their speaking books independently, without the help of the observed person. CD technology has revolutionized the industry of speaking books because the data can be compressed to fit much more information of one disk. Many players of speaking books will also play a music CD, so a visually impaired person has a multipurpose machine.

Of course,

sound books can also use visually impaired people, but are the most popular with travelers and busy individuals. Thousands of titles are available in hundreds of categories. The traveler just appears in a cassette or CD and listens to how the book reads. Sound books are popular on long commuting and trains or aircraft - anywhere people can listen to a personal music player.

Many sound books also contain famous actors reading books. Some even read in a game format in which different actors take parts of the characters in the book. They can also contain sound effects or music to help improve listening experience. Some book clubs began to offer sound books as part of their subscription. Libraries also can also be purchased online or can be purchased online or in any bookstore.

those who feel they don't have time to enjoy the pleasure of a good book, they can find sound books as another best thing.
