When my husband and I take road trips, it’s fun to stop the recording and talk about what we’ve just heard.

My family and I just drove 6.5 hours back to Oregon from San Fran and listened to Harry Potter the whole way. It was lovely. I think audio books are the best!

Ruth: What a good point about enjoying listening together. One strike against iPods, unless they plug into your car audio system.

Thanks for adding a couple more times to use audio books. Since they download so much faster for iPods, I’ll bet that will be your next move.

What’s also interesting to me is how “social” listening to a book can be. When my husband and I take road trips, it’s fun to stop the recording and talk about what we’ve just heard.

I love audio books. They are great on long road trips, nasty commutes, when doing quieter types of housework, whilst quilting or needlework. But I haven’t downloaded any for my iPod yet.

Brett: I know that lots of people would agree with you, but I found them to be a life safer when I had boring 2-hour commutes.My husband and I like them when we travel. And lots of people listen on an I-pod while they run or walk or exercise in a gym.

I have never listened to a book. I think that if I am going to change how I read books I will probably buy a Kindle before anything else.
