#22 Audio books

There is a lot out there....and they seem very cheap.....I do wonder why someone would borrow from a library when they are so easy to download from the internet and there is no risk of fines.
The Project Gutenberg is an enormous undertaking.....over 1 million books available as e books!!!
Even Dymocks the booksellers has an e book area although i think it is through an American company.
I believe there are e book readers ....is it Sony who is developing them ...making the ebook a tangable item where you can actually read the text on a screen rather than just listen to it.
Personally i can't see them replacing the good old hard copy but who knows what direction the reading public will take.
