In today's world, much of what we easily relate to has been boiled down into a metaphor of what we commonly speak of as "The Top 10" whatever? Whether it be the top 10 movies of all times, the top 10 food dishes or in this case we will examine the top 10 reasons why audio books online downloads are cheap?

First of all, what is cheap? Ask 10 people and of course you will get 10 different answers. In the context of this top 10, we want to cover all of the aspects of cost to the consumer of audio books online downloads.

The term "cheap" is commonly associated with cost, however in the business sense when speaking of true cost, the definition quickly comes back as "time, money and sometimes quality".

Looking at the amazing growth of how download audio books (iPods & MP3 players) have quickly started to replace the hard copy publications, lets take one look at the individual reasons causing this? Truly each of these reasons merits not only a financial cost savings, but a possible time savings and a quality savings as well. And as I originally said, the world today likes to see everything boiled down into a "top 10", so here we go! The top 10 reasons why audio books online downloads are cheap starting with reason #10 working our way up to reason #1.

Reason #10 - Downloadable audio books are generally around 35% cheaper than their physical hard copy book counterpart, due to the significant reduction in required publishing costs. In fact, digital retention of the book's contents is much better since the audio book online download can be stored on CD or DVD media, which will far outlast that of a paper substance. The convenience factor additionally adds to this as well.

Reason #9 - When given as a Christmas, Birthday, holiday or special event gift, the giver can count on choosing a title that is practically guaranteed to work because of the immense selection of audio book online downloads to choose from. It's just a fact there is a "right" audio book online download for everyone!

Reason #8 - Learning from audio self-help books is like having a teacher right there with you through your learning experience. Consider working on a project while you are listening to your project guru instructing you about the do's and don'ts simultaneously! Besides providing a better feeling of security, it may also shorten the project drastically. And you can stop and replay what the teacher is saying whenever you want, allowing you to work at your own pace.

Reason #7 - Fund raising opportunities have dramatically grown from doubling to possibly tripling the revenue potential currently available through web audio book businesses such as Todaysaudiobooks.com

What used to be an arduous task of raising money for non-profits has totally changed! A non-profit organization can now earn from 10% up to 30% commissions on the sale of audio books online downloads just by listing a button on their web site and its as simple as that! Something to consider when you think how difficult it is to raise money for your non-profit businesses these days.

Reason #6 - If you've ever heard a parent say at what price is it worth to keep their kids occupied at some point in time? Aside from the joking nature of the question, there is a great deal of truth in that anecdotal question! Kids by their very own nature operate at a more hyper level than do adults. They are always in motion looking for the next distraction? The problem is that if you don't create that activity for them, they will most certainly find their own? Why not look at this as an opportunity and supply when with activities that will teach them as well as entertain them? There are thousands of children's audio books online downloads that will either teach, entertain or do both!

Reason # 5 - For those of us with issues of tired eyes, insomnia or cannot concentrate, these are no longer problems. Audio books are the perfect convenience for when your eyes are too tired to focus on a printed page and want to relax with your eyes shut. As a side issue, visually impaired readers can also take advantage now by listening without having to experience visual problems.

Reason #4 - If you want to work on active listening skills, audio books are a terrific vehicle for developing a student's critical listening skills. Think about the possibility of them listening to school reading assignments and relaxing at the same time. Trust me, when I say that THIS is not a hard sell on your child or a student! And you are doing something for them as well!

Reason #3 - Ahhhhhhh! The headache that comes to mind when one thinks of a l-o-n-g commute time to and from work … or …taking a trip in the car or train or l-o-n-g flights on a plane? NO longer is that the case, in fact it could be a lot more enjoyable! Listening to one of your favorite audio book online downloads can melt away all the tensions that you build up while you are in traffic or stuck sitting in a train or plane.

Reason #2 - Multitasking has come of age with audio books. What if you could create MORE hours in the day? Well you can with audio books online downloads. As an example, research individuals and other professionals (ie… busy physicians, etc…) can now fit time to glean important info from audio books, podcasts, seminars, etc… into their busy schedules without sacrificing one or the other. It's a dream come true for those of us who do not have enough hours in the day. And, who doesn't?

Reason #1 - Who doesn't have "dead" moments when you find yourself just sitting or standing there waiting on someone else? Knowing full well you could be doing something "productive" because you will eventually have to make up this "down" time later….argh! Well say no more because now you can instantly fill in all these "dead" moments in your life, whenever they occur! Now you can download audio books (iPods & MP3 players) for those unplanned moments to get things done and stay on schedule! Plus, escape to your favorite book, hobby or interest whenever you want?

In summary, audio books online downloads are quite cheap, when you consider the versatility and flexibility they can add to your activities in your life and your family's as well. True, they are at least (35%) actual cost less expensive than normal hard copy books, but that is just the start! If you use them creatively, you'll find that your life can be much further enriched as much as you can share these same "gifts" with others too!
