Are you one of those people who do not like to read? Do you have a learning difference that makes reading painful? Or maybe you love to read, but you don’t have the time. Well, you’re not alone. The good news is you don’t have to read well to partake of good books or to access the information there. How you ask? There are web-sites and apps that offer audiobooks. Audiobooks are recorded books that you can download to your computer, mp3 player, phone or other device and listen at home or on the go. For the less “techno-savvy,” there are recorded books on cd in most local libraries. This is especially good news for people who are dyslexic, ADD, or have other learning differences. These resources are also useful for those who have vision problems or those who are so busy they like to multitask. Below are some such websites and apps that are available. Some offer free audio books, some use library resources. I do encourage you to check them out and see if they can work for you.
