I tried it once, but missed hearing the proper inflections. However, I'm all for multitasking.

It's great for when I'm cooking or cleaning and want to keep going in the book I'm reading. Multi-tasking! :)Kelly Hashwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936313159809041986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7779997262227613456.post-76832630382356386572015-02-02T20:02:06.427-08:002015-02-02T20:02:06.427-08:00I'll admit that I don't listen to too many...I'll admit that I don't listen to too many audiobooks, though when I do, I enjoy them. The only one that comes to mind if Night Film (I have no idea who the narrator is), and I adore the voices the guy does. That's been awesome. But I can completely imagine how the person reading would set the tone--and make or break the experience.

I've listened to the first CD of Divergent. I don't remember who the narrator is but it sounds okay. We'll see after I've listened to the next ten hours. I'm trying to save my eyes that are getting really bad. Hope this works.

But I love being able to multitask and get some gardening or the dishes done while also ticking off another title from my never-ending to-read shelf. :)Kai Strand, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012304963642303041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7779997262227613456.post-76252040993847824762015-02-02T07:55:18.886-08:002015-02-02T07:55:18.886-08:00I've never actually used an audiobook before. ...I've never actually used an audiobook before.
