When clearing through security screening at airports, taking off shoes while balancing a paperback book is certainly an uncomfortable feat that no posture can carry graciously and stay composed and dignified.
Audio books come in a range of formats but once they are downloaded onto CD you can then choose how and when to enjoy listening to them.
As a pretty frequent traveller, I find my MP3 player to be the most convenient. It’s light, extremely portable and fit’s into a crowded handbag (or purse) with ease.
The other thing I like about CD Audio books is the price.
Because no trees lose their lives’ or have their bark disturbed in the making of them, I hope I may be saving a tree somewhere on the planet too.
I am quite happy to disturb a few electrons and know that as my listening is a quiet affair, no one even has to listen to pages turning.
The other thing I like about CD audio books is that I can blot out a ‘talky’ passenger.
Some people seem to think that just because you are seated beside them in an aluminium tube hurtling through the air at a great rate of knots, that you are a captive travelling companion.
My experience has shown me that I am less likely to be expected to talk if I appear to be listening to my MP3 player. People respect that and leave me alone.
I know that I am saving my bark too when I appear unapproachable.
