One of the most convenient ways to get acquainted with the creative heritage of a particular writer is to listen to audiobooks that are completely identical to their text counterparts.

These are the best audiobooks, proven by time and readers.

The main advantages of audiobooks

For those who are just getting acquainted with audiobooks as a format, here are some of their advantages:

Listen to free audiobooks in English for free on the website knigi-audio.com/en/

The ability to listen to content under any conditions-if it is quite inconvenient to carry a regular book with you all the time, then you can listen to audiobooks through a regular phone. At the same time, there is no need to use certain devices – free mp3 audiobooks will open on any smartphone. You can listen to them on the go, while doing homework, or even in line.
Versatile format-our website offers audiobooks in a convenient format, so you don't need to download special multimedia players or other similar programs to listen to them.
Save time-if the process of reading a regular book cannot be combined with other work, then you can listen to an audiobook even while playing sports. This is quite relevant for a modern person who does not have very much time for his own affairs.
Better understand the work – many specialized experts have proven that most people are able to master a large amount of information if they perceive it in audio format.

Eye benefits – few people observe eye hygiene while reading, that is, they have a comfortable place and appropriate lighting. If you systematically neglect such aspects, over time it will lead to poor vision. Audio books do not have this disadvantage, since they are listened to in passive mode.
The beginning of a wonderful family tradition – parents should take a closer look at audiobooks as a great opportunity to spend the evening with their children as useful and interesting as possible. Listening to a fairy tale or any other thematic work together brings children together, and helps them relieve the emotional tension accumulated during the day.
Most works of fiction or non-fiction that are presented in paper form are also available in audiobook format, so you can listen to any book, even one that has just gone on sale. High-quality audiobooks also have a comfortable sound, they are read by professional announcers, so the information is perceived easily.
