#21 - Audiobooks

In the world of electronically-delivered audiobooks, subscription services have popped up to provide downloadable audio files for PCs and MP3s at small cost.

The Gutenburg Project was developed by thousands of volunteers to provide free (non-copyrighted) books to the public. Just check out the World e-Book Fair!

In my opinion, audiobooks (and ebooks) have to be noted as the next great innovation in information delivery and recreation. I'm sure a lot of people may disagree with me on this issue, since hardcopy books and manuscripts tend to be easier to read and handle.

But remember; not that long ago, people didn't see the potential of the fledgling Internet phenomenon, either.
