# 22: Audiobooks

Audiobooks are increasingly popular, and electronic audiobooks could be an invaluable addition.

Many interesting titles on the sites listed, but I only got as far as titles as to go further would have required registration and therefore yet another password. There seemed to be no registration required at the Worldebooktradefair site but the downloads were extremely slow.

What appeals to me is the fact that with eAudiobooks, which could be deleted after the loan period expires, there would be no messing around with overdue fines.

However, we need to bear in mind that this technology is not for everyone. Some customers prefer audiobooks in the formats we currently offer, and we need to be careful that in our enthusiasm to embrace new technology we stay aware of the needs of all our customers.
