USA Today Report

The idea of learning from audiobooks is great and I have used it several times over the past two years from Audible.com. The article content is right on the mark about learning but it does not mention that a hirer level of concentration may be required if the subject matter is of little interest or difficult. Kind of like music, if one is into classical it may be hard to listen to heavy metal for an extended period of time. The other item I have found or noticed, sometimes the audio book may not be the same version as the printed book, this happened twice to me upon reviewing the printed chapters after listening. But overall, I think it is a great way to remove the boundaries of learning while accomplishing other tasks, such as exercising, i.e. multitasking.
