I met a new acquaintance the other day and our conversation reminded me of a DIY tip I wanted to share:
Audible Books
We already know that books are fantastic.... Audible books are so great for
those of us that want to soak in more book time during our busy day, but
can't take the time to just sit and read a book...they allow us to engage and
devour books while on the run...literally using almost any device, we can
take our audio books with us and listen in the car, taking public
transportation, while exercising, waiting in long lines, doing housework,
yard work, listen to a quality "family" book in the car while driving on
vacation etc...
What do they provide?
They are a fantastic source of
knowledge and entertainment.
Learn a new language, take a
study course, listen to a classic
novel, learn about technology, history, politic, sports,
self help, business, finance, fitness and health...
the list goes on and on. I was recently introduced to this idea and I
have been infatuated with listening to my audio books so much, that I can't
wait to have a reason to take a long drive and listen to my latest download!! Some even come with printable .pdf files that accompany the book with
important information.
Most devices sync, so you can pick up right where
you left off when using different devices.
Here are some sites to get you started...
