What is an Audiobook?

Source:Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiobook)

An audiobook is a recording that is primarily of the spoken word as opposed to music. While it is often based on a recording of commercially available printed material, this is not always the case. It was not intended to be descriptive of the word "book" but is rather a recorded spoken program in its own right and not necessarily an audio version of a book.

Spoken audio was originally primarily available in school and public libraries and to a lesser extent in music shops. It was not until the 1980s that there began a concerted effort to attract book retailers. As book publishers entered the field of spoken-word publishing, the transition to book retailers carrying audiobooks became commonplace on bookshelves rather than in separate displays.

To put it simply, it is textual content (usually, that of a regular book) spoken and recorded onto a medium such as CDs or cassettes. This makes the content accessible to the blind or illiterate and on occasions when reading is impractical or impossible, e.g., driving or exercising.

Other types or classification of books are fiction books, biography, non-fiction books, cooking books, Australian books, children books, etc.
