In countries where the books famine persists, audiobooks present an opportunity to quench the thirst for reading and nurture a reading culture. Most people now have either a phone, kindle, tablet computer or laptop — devices that can bring digital books into homes where none would otherwise exist.
Compared to paper books, audiobooks can be taken along and listened to from almost anywhere — while driving, preparing a meal, at a hair salon, carwash, in a gym while working out — practically almost everywhere. With a device that can connect to the internet, one can subscribe to audiobook services through apps such as Audible, the Amazon-owned audiobook market leader, Google Play Books, among a slew of many more, some free and others at a fee.
