August 2008 audio books specials have been posted. Sorry for the delay, summer is coming to an end so I've been trying to enjoy what's left.

As the Get Caught Listening campaign kicks off it is so appropriate that the Audiobook of the Year for 2008 is a title that was made as an audio book, not a written book. (…)
The Association of American Publishers recently announced the "Get Caught Listening" campaign aimed at increasing the awareness for the audio book format. We are very excited about this campaign which is scheduled to start in June. Though the use of audio books continues to increase there is some confusion and misinformation about them. Most of it revolves around choosing to listen to a book versus reading books themselves. The latest statistics published by the Audio Publishers Association shows an estimated 6% growth in audio books sales from 2005 to 2006. More updated information will be provided sometime in the summer but I don't doubt that it will show continued growth. (…)
This post is to let you know we have updated our discount offers for the month of May 2008. We have decided to change the way our discounts page works.

We have also added any special offers that we are aware of from other audio book stores. (…)
Spring is finally here and this post is to notify you of the special discounts that are available for audio books via CreateTimeAudio for the month of April 2008. There are more than 20 special offers on our audio book discounts page. As usual they are in a variety of categories. Believe it or not I am still in the "New Year, New Me" mood and therefore am recommending 2 audio books that focus on improving your life and acheiving your life goals. (…)
This post is more of a spur of the moment since I was in the process of researching whether I should recommend the Amazon Kindle not only on the basis of being an ebook reader…but also a way of listening to your audio books. I have been trying to get one of my own so that I can really take it for a test drive but supposedly the orders are backlogged and there really doesn't seem to be much information on when their inventory will catch up with the demand. (…)
This post is to let you know that we have updated the audio book discounts for February 2008 from CreateTimeAudio. This month's list is made up of more than 30 audio books and as usual includes a wide range of titles. I have only included 10 titles in this update since I did not want to delay any further on updating you to those specific to the self improvement area that is so important as the new year starts. I will be travelling for a week or so and will update the list fully when I get back. (…)
Audio book catalogs are now available from CreateTimeAudio. Some of them were available a couple of months ago but I decided to wait to announce it here when the latest catalogs were added. (…)
This post is to let you know that we have updated the audio book discounts for January 2008 from CreateTimeAudio. This month's list is made up of more than 30 audio books and includes a wide range of titles. As we enter the new year it is common to have New Year's Resolutions and audio books are great aids to help you as both tools and "coaches" when it comes to many of the most popular New Year's Resolutions.

One of the biographies that really demonstrates the principle of giving back that is supposed to be a major part of the holiday season is President Carter's biography. Hard not to respect and admire his efforts. (…)
Audio book gifts are great for many people on you holiday shopping list. You can give them in a variety of ways that might not be obvious. As the owner of a downloadable audio book store my choice is to burn audio books onto CD with custom covers and give them as physical gifts but this is not the only option for you. You can even incorporate an audio book with your gift of a digital player like an IPod. With an IPod you can go even further by buying an ITunes gift certificate that the person can use to buy their own audio books through the ITunes store. You can buy audio book gift memberships at places like BooksFree or Audible. (…)

For a bit of escapism there's nothing like a good thriller. (…)
Biographies in audio book format provide us with an easy way to participate in what some of us would consider a guilty pleasure. A biography is the account of someone's life story. It can be an autobiography that is written by the person who is the subject or it can be written by someone else. They can be authorized or unauthorized by the subject. Why is it a guilty pleasure? The most popular biography books are those written on actors, actresses, singers and musicians. It is a vicarious look into the lives of people that have fascinated us. (…)
Some people would consider using audio books in the classroom as a form of cheating but the audio book benefits far outweigh any negatives. Though some children may like reading more than others there are many of us who hated to read as kids. A bad experience with reading as a child may put one off of becoming a lifelong reader which for some of us would be a great tragedy. Reading not only is enjoyable but from a learning perspective is so critical. (…)
Recently I started thinking about recording my own audio books. Since I love audio books so much I thought wouldn't it be a great idea to try to record some of my own. It seems that recording audio books wouldn't be that difficult nowadays, since technology makes things so easy. The truth is it is not that difficult. (…)
My career has had various stages but all of them have had a recurring theme. Lack of time has been pervasive and I know this is not just something that I struggle with. (…)
