You have to love books on tape. These days, people often don’t have the time or attention span to sit through reading an entire book, but they do sometimes have long commutes to work. The same old radio stations get boring because they play the same songs over and over. News stations are no better because they’re often too slanted politically. Books on tape can be a great solution. I have tons of them on CD and cassette for sale, plus a lot of regular books. You can see them at www.amazon.com/shops/mikeneedsakidney.com. My prices are among the lowest on amazon. Some of the books are as low as $4.50.

Books on Tape and CD
October 5, 2009Books on Tape/Audiobooks for sale on Amazon.com
July 11, 2009Imagine you’re driving a long, boring commute. You’re tired of hearing the same songs over and over. Even on satellite radio, the stations play the same stuff again and again. Music CDs get old too. Even the news, unless you listen to BBC or something else international, covers no more than a few stories over and over, without much depth. Sports radio? Gets old fast. Howard Stern? They replay the same stuff over and over.
What is the solution? Books on tape (or nowadays, books on CD) can help. More and more people are trying to use their time productively whether they are in the car or taking public transportation to work. They’re also great for people who are blind or cannot read for other reasons. (I’m pretty sure there’s a way to transfer audio books from CD to Ipod, though I haven’t done it myself.)
I have a couple of hundred books on CD/audiobooks that I am selling on amazon.com. My prices are the lowest on amazon. My prices for used audiobooks (all of mine are used) range from from $4.50 to $49.99. Some of the audiobooks when new were originally priced at over $100 because some of them have more than 15 CDs. A lot of people list the prices sky high if they have the only copy available of a particular book on amazon because of supply and demand, but I list a lot of them at $29.99 even if I have the only copy for sale on amazon.
Some of the authors include: John Grisham, Stephen King, Jane Austen, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jack Kerouac, William F. Buckley, and Jackie Collins. A couple of the titles include: “Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush” by John Dean, and “The Google Story” by David Vise.
The list is below and also at http://www.amazon.com/shops/mikeneedsakidneydotcom. (A few of these books are hardcover books on art, sports, or other topics but I didn’t have time to edit those out from the list). Thanks for looking.
