Nokia Audiobooks for Nokia Series 60
2007-11-24 13:45:00 Nokia Audiobooks is a beta concept that enables you to enjoy audiobooks while on the go. It includes a highly efficient audio compression technology optimized for voice (AMR-WB), a player application for S60 (Nokia Audiobook Player), and an audio converter tool for PC (Nokia Audiobook Manager). Whereas traditional music player applications are optimized for music, Nokia Audiobook Player is optimized for audiobooks, enabling you to browse chapters, set bookmarks, and automatically continue from where you last time stopped listening.A typical 400 page novel translates into a 10-20 hours long audiobook, which would traditionally take more than dozen CDs or hundreds of megabytes of low-quality MP3 files. Nokia Audiobooks uses a codec called AMR-WB, which is optimized for voice. With Nokia Audiobooks, you will get 5-10 times more content to your phone with similar voice quality, compared to content compressed with MP3 at 64 or 128 kbps. Consequently, you can easily store multiple audiobo...

Audiobooks.... just a FYI thing
2007-11-12 00:02:00 I've spent the afternoon listening to an audio book online. I'm currently doing all my housework, dishes and making dinner while 'reading' Little Men.

Sounded corny, I know... but it's not even a paid advertisement! LOL.
Ebooks and audiobooks and MP3's
2007-11-09 22:23:00 Well couple of things new. I found a great new website. Its right up my alley. It is calle Scribd.com . It is a website that will store all of your text files for you or keep them on thier server for others to use. The cool part of the website is, once you upload your book via PDF or Text or Word Doc. It saves it so that you can downoad it in another format hence from PDF to Word Doc or vice verse or whats really cool is you can download it via MP3 as it has a built in Text to Speach replicator. Any book that you upload you can instantly turn into an audiobook. Since I have over 2,000 ebooks and hardly have time to read them I do have some time to listen to audiobooks on my drive to work and back and whenever. My Treo 650 comes in handy as a MP3 player and also a PDF reader. So if I do have time I can read a book off of there as well. I have already uploaded about 10 or so books to the site.Not to mention there are thousands of already uploaded books. I now have a life time supply o...

Audiobooks Provide Quality Relevant Content For Affiliate Programs
2007-04-30 02:00:00 Affiliate programs have long been very popular for online businesses. But with all of the many programs out there, it can be difficult to narrow your focus and find the right program for your website. One new affiliate program is gaining in numbers every day and that is selling audio book downloads through niche websites. Audiobook downloads are a great way to monetize your website with relevant content that will be a prefect match to the theme of nearly any website out there. Recent trends show why audiobooks are such a hot commodity. In 2004, the audiobook industry which was then in the form of cassettes and CDs was $800 million. By the end of 2005, it is estimated that audio books had become a $2 billion industry. Not many other industries can grow by 150% in one year! To demonstrate what kind of money can be made in the audiobook industry, consider this: Audible.com, the leading audiobook download company, generated sales of $65 million in 2005 solely from audiobook down...

12 Free Political Audiobooks from Librivox
2007-04-17 03:57:00 IntroIn search of literary ear candy classics for your listening pleasure? Look no further than Librivox, the non-profit, volunteer-driven project that aims to make every work of literature available as a free audiobook download. Hold on, scratch that. Every out of copyright work of literature. The problem is that about 70 percent of books are out of print but still in copyright, and corporate copyright holders tend to cling to those rights like drowning rats to inflatable cheese. Not willing to print, yet not willing to share—the publishing industry could learn a lesson or two from preschool children. Until the day comes that we radically change copyright, Librivox has its hands full with the 20 percent of books that are already in the public domain. Their website currently features over 500 works recorded by volunteer book readers, with new additions uploaded every day. They're always on the lookout for volunteers, so if you love poetry, prose, and the sound of your own...
