Listening to Audible Books for Free for Seniors in Long Term Care

August 14th, 2020

You have probably heard of audible books or audiobooks. These are books that one or more persons read into a tape, and then you can play the tape and hear the book being read to you word for word. All the major booksellers such as Amazon and Barnes and Noble offer audible books.


However, you may not realize that there is a vast collection of audible books that are available for free. That’s what we’re going to talk about today in this blog article.


Benefits of Audible Books


Audible books have several benefits. One is that you can listen to a book while you’re doing something else, like cooking or eating. Many people listen to them while driving.


But another big benefit is that you can read books without the reading. For those who have limited vision or tire of reading fine print, you can consume the book without “reading” it.


Free Sources of Audible Books


There are many free sources of audible books online. These are books that can be listened to from a computer, a tablet, or a smartphone. This is legal because the books that are available are in the public domain. For example, the books may be classics that were written a long time ago.
