They changed readers during a series I'm reading and it drastically changed the feel of the story. Thing is, I suffered through and started to get used to the new reader, all the while still heavily biased toward the original reader. Fortunately, the author says the original reader will return for the next installment of the series. Other books, it takes a lot to get used to sharp voices or tinny audio. With all that as a given, I still drive through audiobooks faster than eyes to surface. If you can find the time to sit down with a book, you can put on headphones and press play. The experiences are largely the same in getting the story into your head. The reader of an audiobook can make a big difference.

Unfortunately, I'm not really sure when I would listen to them since I don't have a long commute, which is when I think would be an ideal audiobook time. I'm also not sure if I would be too annoyed by the readers. (See my comments about <a href="http://wysz.com/wyszdom/2009/04/voices-that-annoy-me/" rel="nofollow">NPR</a>) We'll see how things go with the iPad.

If you are going to get a ebook reader, maybe wait to see how well the ipad does? I don’t know if you’ve ever tried audiobooks, but I really like them.
