Audio vs. paper books
I found this in my wanderings and thought those of you here would enjoy. Here is a "new" audiobook retailer:

http://www.audiobookery.co.za/

Take a look around. If you're feeling a little confused afterwards, check this out:

And, if you still don't get it:

Spoiler:
This audiobook "shop" was set up as a clever advertisement for a paper book shop: Pulp Books. Their point: not all books are suited for audio.


I thought it was clever, anyways. I hope you enjoy it.

Funny, but of course the real power of audio books is realized in video books! Do we have video book readers out there? Not videos, but video books, maybe they should be called illustrated audio books. Audible has a new format AAX that provides this. Audio books with illustrations.
