Term: Audiobooks: An audio book is a recording of the contents of a book read aloud. It is usually distributed on compact discs (CDs), cassette tapes, or digital formats (such as mp3). The term "audio book" has been synonymous with "books on tape" for roughly 20 years. Cassette tape sales still comprise roughly 40% of the audio book market, with CDs the other dominant format type. Unabridged
audio books are word for word readings of a book, while abridged audio
books have text edited out by the abridger. Audio books also come as
fully dramatized versions of the printed book, sometimes calling upon
a complete cast, music and sound effects. Click
