Websites To Download Free Audio Books

Best Of

Simply put, audiobooks are recordings of books which are read aloud. But some may think: why
would we need audio books if we can read books ourselves? Audio books are useful not only for
the visually impaired, but also for busy people who love a good read, but just dont have the time
to sit down to bury their faces in their favorite classics. So the best alternative would be to listen
to audiobooks via audio devices while travelling or commuting to work.
Besides, audio books are great for learning a new language to ensure you dont pronounce a
foreign phrase wrongly because you can listen to exactly how it is spoken. Heres our list of 20
best websites to download free audio books.
