What are Audio Books

Technology brings us new products every week and sometimes keeping up with the trends can seem to be a full time job.

In the next few paragraphs I will answer a few of the most common questions to do with audio books, what they are and who can use them.

Firstly, what are audio books??
Audio Books are quite simply a book that has been recorded as an audio version so that you can have the book read to you, rather than you having to read the hardcopy yourself.

Where can I get an audio book from??
You can buy audio books from the bookstore, as you would a normal hardcopy book, but the more popular option these days is to buy one online and download it straight to your home computer.
There are several advantages to this. The most obvious one is the convenience of not having to leave the house and fight with other customers. The other is that, quite often, downloadable audio books are cheaper than store bought ones.
There are many websites that you can download audio books from. My favourite is http://www.spokenword-audiobook.com
They have a huge range of titles.
The download process is simple.
There is no extra software to install and best of all?
No membership that you have to sign up for. (Many sites charge a monthly fee to be a member of their site)

What do I use to listen to an audio book?
If you buy an audio book from a store it will already be on cassette or cd.
If you download one from the internet, you will be able to listen to it straight from your computer, or you can copy it onto a cd yourself or onto an mp3 player.
Both of these are easy processes and mean that your book is now very portable. You will be able to listen to your book wherever you can take your cd player or mp3 player, in other words, pretty much anywhere. In the car, walking, at the beach, doing housework, traveling interstate or overseas, etc?

What is a dramatized audio book?
A dramatized audio book is a book that is narrated using a full cast, music and sound effects so that you get a real life dramatization of the book.

What is an abridged audio book?
An abridged audio book is one that has been shortened to read more like a story. It is not read word for word.

What is an unabridged audio book?
An unabridged audio book is one that is read word for word from the original hardcopy.

These are a few answers to questions people may have on audio books. Audio books have so many advantages especially if you are able to download them off the internet yourself.
They can make excellent gifts if you were to copy a book onto cd and make a personalized cover for the case.
Not only are you giving the gift of reading, but you are introducing them to the world of audio books and all its advantages.
So start browsing the endless list of titles today. At http://www.spokenword-audiobook.com they even have a FREE audio book available every month so you can trial their easy 3 step system risk free.

The Land Before Time

The Land Before Time
This 1988 animated feature from Don Bluth (An American Tail) focuses on an orphaned young dinosaur, Littlefoot, who has to make his way to the paradise of the Great Valley in order to survive a plague. Along the way, he meets up with some other dinos from different species, and they all bond and travel together. On the way, they have plenty of adventures. Even with elements of suspense, this is a pretty relaxed movie that isn't in a particular hurry to roll out its story. Kids will like the originality of the concept, and the themes of friendship and cooperation are well woven into the fabric of the entertainment, plus the music is great. Bluth's artwork looks good, though--as always--he never seems to quite catch up with the quality of the Disney machine. --Tom Keogh

Customer Review: The Land Before All The Sequels

This is one of the better films made for kids. I watched it a ton when I was younger, and can now admit that I was positively terrified of Sharptooth.



Unfortunately, they couldn't stop making sequels. Now, our prehistoric heroes have been reduced to a bunch of computer generated dinos, prancing around singing annoyingly about diversity.



See the original. It's much better.

Customer Review: Pleasantly Surprised

My wife and I recently purchased this movie for my four-year old son and I have to admit I was very surprised at the quality of the movie from a productiona and storytelling standpoint.



I was very sceptical at first. I have never cared for Don Bluth's style (I thought he was generally too dark for a children's animator), although I never considered him lacking talent. I just figured I was in for another cheap kid's movie with nothing to find of interest to an adult and (hopefully) nothing very offensive.



Well, I was first struck by the brilliant orchestral score. I consider myself a mild aficionado of classical music and I will tell you, my firends, the score in this film is both musically complex and emotionally affecting. Listen closely neat the movie's opening, as Littlefoot pops out of his egg. The music's tenderness and joy is wonderful!



Next, having viewed the movie all the way through, I was really shocked to realize the thing was utterly devoid of ANY social or environmental message, the kind of drool-inducing pap they shove down kids' throats at every turn nowadays (anyone seen "Ferngully"?). Of course, one could make the case the movie comments about prejudice, but it also extolls virtues like perservereance, conviction and teamwork! It's just a great story, simply told, about dinosaurs! And what kid doesn't like dinosaurs?



And for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, don't worry about violence or any adult themes (like death). The adult themes are all handled with grace and tact, in the absolute best taste. And the violence is bloodless and done in a way that is exciting, but not scary. I'd recommend to any parents to get a good, well-illustrated book on dinosaurs before showing this movie to their kids - if they like the movie, you will have a great opportunity to spark their imaginations and share some great educational moments with them afterwards. My son and I went through a HUGE encyclopedia of dinosaurs after this movie and we had a great time!



Anyway, I can't speak for any of the sequels, but the original Land Before Time is a great family movie.

A Thousand Splendid Suns

A Thousand Splendid Suns
After 103 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and with four million copies of The Kite Runner shipped, Khaled Hosseini returns with a beautiful, riveting, and haunting novel that confirms his place as one of the most important literary writers today.

Propelled by the same superb instinct for storytelling that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once an incredible chronicle of thirty years of Afghan history and a deeply moving story of family, friendship, faith, and the salvation to be found in love.

Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them-in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul-they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival.

A stunning accomplishment, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love.

Customer Review: Lightning Strikes Twice

After finishing The Kite Runner, I yearned for more. But when I saw A Thousand Splendid Suns and read the jacket, I feared that Hosseini had merely re-dressed his first novel, literally. While the two share the author's authentic style, they could not differ any more. While The Kite Runner focused on two male childhood friends, this one delved more into the intertwining of two women's lives due to the religious aspects of the Muslim culture while forcing the reader to face the misogynistic tendencies. Hosseini not only entertains us with another page turner, but educates as well, about a world that remains a secret to most of us. Thousands have read this insightful work; now that we have, to whom will we abdicate our knowledge of what we have learned?

Customer Review: Great without being addictive

Like "Kite Runner," this novel deals with love and hope in the face of fear, desperation, sadness and loss. Hosseini crafts characters which are genuine and complex behind a facade of simplicity, and I found I could identify with some part or portion of almost all of them. The story really drains you by spanning generations and lifetimes. In this way, it made me feel like I had gone on the journey with these two women, and had been beaten down and raised up emotionally alongside them.



The story and characters definitely kept me intrigued, but I didn't feel that addictiveness I feel with really fantastic books. I didn't get that sense that I had to be late to work or stay up late into the night to finish another chapter, and I think that says something about the novel: that while it is definitely an incredible story, something about it lacked urgency. Maybe that's simply because it did span so many years, I felt like I had a whole lifetime to read it.



Still, Hosseini has crafted a remarkable story and I look forward to what he comes up with next.

Customer Review: Expensive for a small toy, but 8 year old loves it

Small and portable, this toy provides fun at home or during those boring errand trips, giving idle hands something to do. 8-year old nephew is quick to show me how much he likes it and feels a sense of accomplishment when morphing it from one thing to another.

Customer Review: 1974 CAMERO TRASFORMER

Customer Review: Automotive Repair Manual

I will never purchase from this seller again.I have received no manual, no money back or communication after three months.

Customer Review: Good book, but lacking some common repair needs.

I like this book very much. It is very easy to read and use for troubleshooting and replacing parts to your car. There are some things is lacks. Some issues are just not existant in the book and I have to look further. I understood this when I bought the book. (what do you expect for a small book for so cheap?) If you were looking for a full car repair manual for your car. You will need to buy a Helms or similar for about the price of four of this book. Even at that, I would reccomend this book as a companion.

Customer Review: Auto shut off is annoying

Seems reliable, quiet, and fast enough... but i really don't like the auto shut off feature. If you don't use it for 10 minutues it shuts down. When you try to access a file from it again, it goes back on. I could be working on a file, step away for a minute, then come back to it and save... and then it has to spin up again just to save. This takes a few seconds every time this happens, which slows me down.



Also... I am unsure of the longevity of an electronic item which is constantly going on and off. In any electronic device, a surge is sent through the device when powering up. We all know that this process of starting up is what wears electronics out, and decreases their life.



So.... if there is someone out there that knows how to turn this feature off... please let me know. I would love it if without auto shut off.

Customer Review: Great price for the amount of storage.

This is the second Western Digital HD that I purchased and I am very happy with the ease and speed of transfers.
