What is an audiobook?

An audiobook is a work produced for distribution on audio media, typically cassette tape, compact disk (CD) or in MP3 format. Audio books are usually spoken-word adaptations of works originally created and produced in print. These works sometimes feature the author's own voice although many are given dramatic readings by one or more actors and/or at times embellished with sound effects.
