* When do you think audio books begun? * Why are audio books are so popular now? * So in the case of the audiobooks "invented" * Who were the first audio book publishers? * The 3 reasons why audiobooks have exploded. * Where to find "original" audio books

* When do you think started audiobooks? What audio books seem fairly new to you? I can only remember about "the first" audio books on cassette is about the middle of the 80s. Then again, I'm really old so maybe your first memory is younger!

I remember a couple of really big box sets for things like Lord of the Rings (sold on ebay ... wish I do not have!) And they were abridged (shortened significantly in the length of funding for whatever reason) cut

Since then it has an explosion in the audio book market. For millions of people, along with MP3 music, audiobook has the Internet age of enlightenment and information flexibility icon!

* Why are Audio books so popular now?: With me as an example: When I realized how good they are for certain things, there was no stopping --

* You are responsible for learning very good. Be it business, self improvement, study, or in my case right now, the Swedish language.

* You are learning for children, after all that great, But I can tell you my own experiences there, I'm 36!

* Much to the pleasure of "reading! For fiction, the fact that normal books are not available would be (for example, in the dark or while driving or working out) or you just want to thrust the book "absorb" you better than even under the eyes.

* So in the case of the audiobooks "invented": Around the early 1980s, perhaps? No

With the current focus on audio book CDs, DVDs, downloadable WMA, MP3, iPods, etc. You may think they are very young. But would be wrong. Audiobooks began long ago.

Get into the grip, for are to be heard, then instead read.

* They have been around as long as the recording was possible?

Not quite. To be more precise, it is safe to say they were first introduced 50 years ago. This is in order to be available outside of the professional broadcasting circles.

* Who were the first audio book publishers?: Robin Whitten, editor and founder of the only magazine that is dedicated exclusively to the audiobook industry credits Caedmon (now a subsidiary of HarperCollins Publishers) as having recordings of literature began as far back as 50 years ago.

He tells us that Caedmon, then a small company in New York, began the audio recording of the great writers and poets of the 1950s. Specifically, he said some of the earliest recordings were of Greats such as Dylan Thomas, TS Eliot, Fitzgerald and Robert Frost.

At that time they were simply recorded while doing their own work and as vinyl records made. Not exactly ideal for jogging, but these early recordings can probably be set as the first collection of audio books.

But the transition of these Book audio cassette tape recordings did not happen until the late 1970s to the 1980s, when we look at the size of the market, initially in the audio-cassette, to them by the growing more "sophisticated" early adopter "profile of the consumer accepted.

The audio book phenomenon is not really kick-off until the mid-1990s.

* The 3 reasons why audiobooks have exploded:

Not surprisingly, as with so many technology related Products:

1) the usability / quality: Vinyl - Limited for use. Play yourself in a suburban train or while driving. Err no. Oops scratch it, damn it, etc. ruined

Cassettes - Total pain, limited storage and it destroys itself with alarming regularity.

Early portable CD players and iPods, there are no moving parts, so you can hear in the development, running, or something else, if a CD player would be useless. You can even listen waterproof players and while water skiing or even if snorkeling!

2) Cost: Early CD players and MP3 players were later very 3) the "delivery" of broadband internet Ease will become the norm is super easy to get, audiobooks "anytime â €" â € in any place "somewhere" 100 meg download, no problem!

* Where to find "original" audio books: And if you original audio books want â € "Can they? If you are still interested in" travel into the past, "you can get the original recordings, that this book Audio book industry started.

Some of them can in the early 1950s analog recordings by Caedmon carried out by the sizes of the time, were purchased online.

You can find that classic you've always dreamed of in the audio-book format, if you search hard enough on the Internet, times where you audiobooks from a size, quality and sophistication that would have as a science fiction 15 years ago!
