dont' get me wrong, I love reading books, but man audio books totally are awesome! I "read" four books in one week. The one on becoming steve jobs was awesome. What a nut case. just finished stephen hawking's book, man took me years to read that one, A brief history of time.
check out some books at:
www.audible.com
they got 15 min samples of each book, at first I recorded the stream into mp3 but then i got hooked and had to have the whole book.
