Many people
who enjoy reading large print books also enjoy audiobooks; we meet many people
who can no longer manage 16 point print size and they then move on to
audiobooks.
The RNIB
provide a marvellous service for those who need audiobooks and have 18,000
unabridged titles. But our audiobook partner (you can find a link on our
website on the right hand side) have 48,000 unabridged titles.
I am
currently listening to Hilary Mantel’s marvellous Bring Up the Bodies, her sequel to Wolf Hall, and this year’s Man Booker prize winner. This book is
not yet available in large print (it is due to be published in February 2013), but
listening to an unabridged book has been a revelation to me – I find myself
engrossed every morning when I take my dogs for a walk on Royston Heath.
You can
download a free audiobook via our website (there are 60,000 titles – including
some abridged ones – to choose from). If you like what you hear, you can
download a book a month for only £7.99, or 12 books for £69.99 (£5.84 each) or
24 books for £109.99 (£4.59 each). You can cancel your membership at any time.
The books
are yours to own and keep and you can have more than one listening device (ipod, tablet,
laptop, smartphone, etc.) registered to your account, so your partner, child or
parent can listen to the same book at the same time!
Best wishes
Guy Garfit
