On a recent trip, I enjoyed listening when I was a passenger. I listened to the whole Eragon series as audio. Audio books are great for projects around the house like painting. I still prefer the printed word, though. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10722111911442589.post-80111053575892146062013-05-16T13:31:18.682-07:002013-05-16T13:31:18.682-07:00This is very true, A.

I listen to them in situations where I could never read (safely), and they're the future and past of storytelling. <br /><br />The music to begin an audiobook seems unnecessary to me, but it's a convention, and if we don't follow it as Indie authors we might be judged.AE Marlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147869749418530652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10722111911442589.post-10786645158008057072013-05-16T11:55:16.766-07:002013-05-16T11:55:16.766-07:00Thanks for that, Alex.
