Audible.com is an Internet provider of digital audiobooks. Since my Audible Love post back in January of 2009 I have added an other 45 books to my library pushing my per year average up to around 23. I'm not sure this really qualifies as an obsession but I find myself very annoyed when I have to tackle rush-hour with out a book to listen to. This may seem like a lot but before the "responsible adult" phase of my life (pre- wife, kids and career ) I probably averaged close to 50 paper books a year. Now, outside of Audible I probably only manage 6-10 books a year, which is why I haven't jumped on the Kindle bandwagon yet.
I think I still prefer the written book... If I had the time... Thats a big "IF" though and Audible allows me to keep up on my "reading" and maintain my sanity during rush-hour so worth the slight monetary premium over the paperback price.
