Amazon's launch of Audible was an innovative turn in itself. It introduced an alternative version to reading content and books. Rather, unique in approach, this version facilitates an audiobook service in the form of podcasts. These audiobooks are spoken word content in a narrative form, which meets the taste buds of the users, based on the categories they look out for. The enhanced version of the service caters to our auditory senses and is a boon for active listeners.
People who could make the best out of this service are those who have a penchant for reading books but are unable to devote their time to reading, given the tight schedule they are pushed in. The task of reading is undertaken by the narrator, and the user is just to listen enjoy the reading. Irrespective of the activities the user is travelling, walking, doing household work, sitting in the park etc. one could easily enjoy the new fun of book reading.
The very tagline of Audible “Books that speak to you", aptly suits the function it serves. One is simply ought to plug in the earphones and listen to one’s favourite book. These audiobooks are accessible through Laptops, Tablets, or Smartphones, be it Android or IOS. Since Audible can be accessed through the existing Amazon account, hence change in devices does not affect the function in any manner.
