Audio books are even more usable now with mp3 players and other such light weight portable devices (beats the old cassette and cumbersome player) which means you are not as limited to where and when you can listen to your favourite book. It would be great for me on a long road trip as I cannot read a book whilst travelling in a car – I get sick!
Obviously this format is great for the visually impaired but also for those who may struggle with their literacy skills and could help a student with learning difficulties to better understand a text being studied in English etc. E-books combined with audio would be even more beneficial as the student could see the words as they are spoken – great also for international students learning English or another language.
