The following questions are the most frequently asked ones regarding about audio books.

Most of my pals, family members and colleagues at work refer to me as an "expert" about audiobooks. They often tell their friends that they know of a certain someone who knows tons about the ins & outs about audio books and the end result is that I kept getting loads of messages about audiobook questions on a day to day basis. Thus, I have deicided to make an article about it along with the answers of course for each and everyone of you.

So, here are the most common inquiries regarding audio books:

 Is there such a thing as a free audio book? If so, how & where would I get hold of them?

My answer in one word: NO. In two words: Not really. Well, it actually depends on what type of audio book that you are seeking for (downloadable forms are a bit cheaper compared to the other forms).

However, you could definitely find free audio books by signing up for their free trials on the audio book site online.

 Which is better: renting audio books or buying?

Personally, I go for the rental one. And it is due to the price - I am a bookworm thus it would be so costly for me if I buy all the books that I have read. Yet, I do buy the pieces that are my favorites and I keep them on my library.

Bottom line is, it is up to you really. Just do what suits you fine.

What do you recommend - downloadable forms, tape or CDs kind of audio books?

Now, that is one tough question there. Well, I am aware that due to technolgy today, the most acceptable format would be the downloadable one. One must own a MP3 player in order to access it. It costs cheaper compared to its other counterparts and the sound quality is superb.

Nonetheless, the widest archive of audio books is in CD form. If you are the classics type then chances are you could find your choices in CD form only. I definitely won't advice you to get the cassette forms. They are unfriendly, low quality and not to mention expensive.

The audio books on CD forms costs about the same as the real book while the ones in cassette form is the most pricey one.

Unfortunately not. However, most books especially the latest bestsellers are being published on this form.
