The Final lucky finalist in our contest to win an iPod touch is….dramatic suspense…Christopher! Here’s what he had to stay about Audiobook Builder<\/a>:<\/p>\n

” I once listened to Stewart Onan’s novel Last Night at the Lobster with the tracks in the wrong order. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The story kept shifting times and locations, but I thought Onan had just written it that way. Another time, I skipped an entire disk in Edward Rutherfurd’s Princes of Ireland without knowing it. I just thought the plot was speeding up, until one character never returned. And I can’t tell you how many chapters I’ve heard two or three times because I either couldn’t find my place or remember if I’d heard that bit yet. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

With Audiobook Builder my reading has become less abstract, less Dada, more whole, less jumpy. If a book confuses or loses me, I can just stop listening\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthen pick it up later, without having lost my place. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Since I do a lot of my audiobook listening while cleaning or shopping or waiting for my kids’ school bus, having books in single long files I can pause at will is not just convenient\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit makes the difference between me able to listen at all, rather than having to opt for something more mindless.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If I’m out walking for an hour, I’ve heard a chapter or two and accomplished something. I spend a whole lot less time wandering around aimlessly, ear-wise, thanks to Audiobook Builder.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
