Like a regular book club, an audio book club is a club that offers members books at a discounted price. In this case, the books are audio books.
One of the great advantages of an audio book over a regular book is that you can listen to them any time while you are doing other things. They are especially great when you’re doing menial tasks; just put them on your mp3 and listen. Most of them come in mp3 format, but some, like the ones from audible.com, come in a proprietary format and you will need to take some extra steps to make sure they will work on your player. While this can sometimes be a little bit of a pain, the advantage is that the files are much smaller and are quicker to download.
Another great benefit is that you can purchase and download your audio book immediately so you can listen to it right away. No waiting for shipping!
A lot of audio book clubs offer an annual membership fee so you only pay once (or monthly) and have access to a certain number of audio books each month. This makes it easy for those on a budget, or to give as a gift.
I have really enjoyed my audio book club memberships and I tend to read a lot more books when I’m a member.
This blog will be dedicated to audio book club and book reviews. Enjoy!
