Author Speaks Up for Downloadable Audio Books

Sept 21, 2007 —Major download sites such as iTunes, eMusic and Hear to Read are waking up to the freedom and possibilities that downloadable audio books offer the public. This trend enables people that would not have time to sit and read or the ability to lug a heavy book around with them with easy access to continuing education and entertainment.

Audio books are not an original idea, but the downloadable audio book is a new concept that allows you to carry a book of any size right in your pocket. This makes it easier for the busy person to enjoy books while working out, driving, cooking, walking, or waiting for a subway train. “As an author I am excited with this forward movement for the upcoming generation. It will allow those that wouldn’t otherwise have the time to sit down and read my book or those unable to read or hold a book the opportunity to enjoy it by simply touching a button and listening,” states author and educator, Sandy Morgan. She goes on to state, “with the downloadable audio book, people with challenges can take another large step forward in their life of independence.”

Morgan, an advocate for individuals that have learning or physical challenges was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child. Because of this, she has made it her life’s work to educate the public as well as enable challenged individuals to become independent and empowered. Morgan has joined forces with the Hear to Read Company to create her own affiliate site for downloadable audio books called http://www.audiobookswarehouse.net

Unlike iTunes or eMusic, the Hear to Read Company does not offer music downloads. It focuses only on quality books read aloud by professionals such as Lynn Redgrave, Charlton Heston, and others. As the name implies AudioBooksWarehouse.net offers book downloads at large discounts for its members.
