The Trend of Audio Books
In a recent survey, by The Audio Publishers Association, we see that Audio Books are becoming more popular with every passing year. In this digital world, there really are no limits to what you can do online. Just as music downloads have grown by leaps and bounds, the audio book industry is poised to follow in the same footsteps.
Audiobook Behavior
* 24.6 percent of respondents have listened to an audiobook in the last 12 months.
* Active audiobook listeners, when compared to non-audiobook consumers
tend to:
o Be slightly younger (44.7 vs. 46.9 years old)
o Have higher household income ($57,300 vs. $49,500)
o Have higher educational attainment (83.9% have gone to college
vs. 71.3%)
o Live in slightly larger households, most have children
o Tend to read more printed books (94.3% have read a book in the
last 12 months vs. 69.9%)
o Approximately half of audiobook listeners with children between the
ages of 4 and 17 indicated their children have listened to an
audiobook in the last 12 months.
Audiobook Digital Downloads
* 34.8% of the audiobook respondents indicated they have an iPod or an
MP3 player. As expected, younger listeners are more likely to have an
MP3 player than older listeners.
* Of the people that own an MP3 player, 31.3% indicated they have
downloaded a digital file of an audiobook for listening on their MP3
player.
* 27.2% of the respondents with an MP3 player indicated they have
downloaded a podcast, a digital recording of a radio broadcast or
similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a
personal audio player.
The most common reason given for listening to one's first audiobook was
entertainment for a long trip followed by recommendation from a friend,
activity to do while commuting, and activity while doing other tasks such
as exercising.
* Audiobook listeners listen to books an average of 4.9 hours per week.
* Respondents indicated approximately 54.4% of their audiobooks are on
CD (including MP3 CDs) and 37.3% are on tape or cassettes with 7.1% as
digital downloads, and the remainder in "other formats" (e.g. preloaded
media).
* Respondents indicated over 68% of the audiobooks they listen to are in
unabridged format. 17.4% are abridged and 14% are not book based (e.g.
collection of speeches, comedy routines, professional, training, motivation,
religious seminars).
Of the audiobooks that are purchased, 63% are bought at physical stores,
31% are purchase via the Web, and 6% via phone or mail order.
* As audiobook usage continues to grow so does usage of libraries as a
source. Respondents indicated 51.8% of audiobooks that are listened to
are borrowed from the library, as compared to 38% in 2001.
* The most important factors for consumers when selecting audiobooks are
price, availability on CD, author, description, and narrator.
* The most commonly used information sources for selecting audiobooks
include web sites, recommendations from friends, physical bookstore,
bestseller lists, and librarians.
If you have been struggling to find the time to read the latest best seller, give audio books a try. You will be amazed at how entertaining and fulfilling they really can be.

Baggallini Urban Backpack
Baggallini Urban Backpack
Whether you wear it as a stylish backpack or chic sling bagg, you'll have enough pockets to store everything and anything!
Customer Review: Love this back pack!
I didn't give it five stars because the shoulder straps aren't adjustable. Other than that I love the size and since the wallet is a part of the bag it holds more than my smaller backpack.
Customer Review: I LOVE THIS BAG!
It's perfect! Lightweight, perfect size for everyday and will be great for travel. Two zippers on the outside and lots of slots on the inside for everything you carry in your purse. Also, the straps can be adjusted to wear as a shoulder bag or a backpack to SAVE your back!

Customer Review: Love it!
Have had my Reader for about 3 months now and I really am happy with it. I have a friend who managed to get her hands on a Kindle so was able to compare the items. My Reader has a much "cleaner" design. No, you can't type on it but I wouldn't use that feature much anyway.
I DO have a problem with the Sony eBook store. I certainly hope they make it more reliable and user friendly - soon! But since these reviews are about the Reader I can truly say I am very happy with it. We travel a good deal and I don't have to decide which book I want to take along - I can "pack" lots! :D
Customer Review: Does not work with Apple Computers even if running Parallells
I had the earlier eReader 500, and it worked fine with my 2007 iMac I liked it so much I wanted to upgrade and give my old one to my daughter. Dealing with Sony was a nightmare. I was routed to a dozen foreign countries, and spent hours and HOURS with customer service, and their managers. NO RESOLVE< and nobody was able to tell me until I returned it that it won't work with my computer. After being promised free return shipping (I was to receive an email with instruction...it never came), I paid to return it to Sony. The product was fine, but I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER SONY PRODUCT.
BUY KINDLE!
