Guys i just saw the coolest things. well if you like to read but like to hear it read to you instead. then you have come to the right place lol. if you have itunes they have just added star wars audiobooks with a ton of the books ive downloaded 3 already.

iTunes is a rip off. a buck a song

talk about expensive.

i don't really like having books read to me. i can read way faster by myself and then there aren't the weird voices of the different characters.
that's just my .02 cents

Also on the SW audio books, the actions and stuff aren't decribed. For example, in lightsaber/blaster duels, all you hear is the sound effects. Feels blind

You know for some reason I don't think I would have admitted to that on a public forum. RIAA, ASCAP, BMG and a few others are paying people a lot to sit around and search for people admitting things like that then busting them. Its a rather expensive fine for every file you have.

That is also illegal.

You could go read the books too. Novel idea, isn't it? (awful pun there)

Too bad I've read all the SW books from my 2 local libraries & borders...

i dont know what elrond wrote but i dont think that xwing was pointing in my direction because each audiobook costs around 12-15 bucks

I am all for audio books, Few things rival Jim Dale reading Harry Potter, and i would far sooner pop in an audio book while driving than listen to the mindless drivel of a radio dj. While you can get a bad reader from time to time, once you involve yourself in the story, that fades away. Reading is grand, but when your hands and/or eyes are otherwise occupied(driving, cleaning house, taking care of younglings...) you can get the same benifit as having read the story yourself. Plus it helps young developing minds acquire a fondness for reading and helps them to become better readers. Props to you countdown on continuing your literary knowledge... you might even learn something.

by the way, not meant as a criticism, just an observation, i think you have been stiffing us for quite some time lm, while most people are willing to give 2 cents, you seem to think it fit to only offer 2 hundredths of one cent. Are you holding out on us?
