My experience with Audible

I started using Audible after I got Corona and was facing attention deficit in reading a book. It was difficult to start with, but it was a new challenge. Trying to focus on what is being said was no mean problem. A lots of rewinding was required, and today I can listen to more than a few minutes without my attention diverted. I do rewind even now.

I usually listen to Audible at 0.75x speed. It helps me to listen more intently.

I have listened to books that I never imagined to read hitherto, notable being Harry Potter.

Narrator of a book matters. Just like Barrack Obama narrating his work, A Promised Land, or Stephen Fry narrating any book.

I have always been open to new technology, and that applies to books too. I have nothing against those who consider reading a book only in its physical form. Moving to Kindle saved me space at my home, and  listening, while in Bangalore traffic, to Harry Potter trying to defeat Voldermort, takes my mind off from the imposing concrete all the way to home. As of now I have listened to 312 hours on Audible, and 188 hours before I attain the final level of "Master" on Audible.

I am waiting for the next innovation in reading books.
