Audio Books on Line
Discount AudiobooksAs your macular degeneration progresses you will find that reading becomes more difficult. I don't suggest that you give up reading, find ways to adjust and adapt.
However, audio books provide a nice, relaxing alternative to reading. Find a comfortable chair, put your legs up and listen to a new release or an old classic. Audio books on line are compatible with the software that is already installed on most modern computers, electronic book readers or as apps on other portable devices.
iPod TouchFree and discount audio books on line can be downloaded right to your iPod Touch 3rd Generation if you have WiFi or are in a place where there is WiFi.There is no need to download to the computer, convert any files, hook up a USB cable, etc. You can listen to your iPod Touch anywhere using either headsets or I have a small speaker/docking set that has excellent sound quality that sits in my kitchen.

The Kindle reader is a low vision technology that can be used as an electronic book reader or as a listening device for audio books. It is a portable and wireless, electronic reader that has some great features for those with macular degeneration: A Text to speech converter will read out loud any book, magazine or newspaper. However, this is a computer generated voice and not the most interesting or entertaining. Instead discount audio books are available at Amazon and can be downloaded right to your Kindle. What I like about this feature is that you can download a sample before deciding you want to buy the audio book. I did this recently with the book, The Help. I loved the reader's voice and decided to download the entire audio book. To download audio books you do need to have access to WiFi - the 3G network is just too slow. You can browse and purchase your audio books from you computer and have them go right to your Kindle device - how it does this I do not know. I just know it works. You can also select audio books right from your Kindle reader.Here's how: 1. Press the "Menu" button, 2. Choose Shop in Kindle Store 3. Under Browse on the Kindle Store home page select Audible Audiobooks Samples and purchases of audiobooks will download to your Home screen when you are connected via Wi-Fi. If you are not connected via Wi-Fi, the delivery will automatically resume once you connect to a Wi-Fi network. I subscribe to the Audible membership in order to get the best prices on talking books for my Kindle reader. The first two books are free. Discount Audio Books Didn't find what you were looking for?
