People can now choose to "read" books by listening to a voice-recorded version. While audio books do not have the classic feel of paper-and-ink books, these newer book versions offer several advantages including being cheaper and being more suitable for the modern and fast-paced lifestyle of the "reader".

I strongly believe that adults need to encourage and inspire young readers to discover, develop and maintain the interest for reading printed books for life. Reading an e-book on a computer screen is not the same wonderful joyous experience as holding a printed book in your hands. Today's constant evolving technology captures our busy every day lives in many aspects.
