Good day!
To receive and study new information, you do not always need to read books, articles, etc.!
Thanks to modern technology, you can use almost any smartphone listen to audiobooks, even if you are eating on transport, working out in the gym, etc. etc ... Agree, is it convenient? 👌
In addition, audiobooks give your eyes a rest (which is also very valuable in the modern world, where you constantly have to look at the screens of various gadgets).
In this article, I want to give the most convenient applications for working with audiobooks. At all, of course, if you have small books (and there are not many of them), then it is quite possible to get by with ordinary music players. However, specialized applications have their own "chips":
- firstly, they can create to remember the place at which you stopped listening (and then start playback from it);
- secondly, they allow you to create favorite areas (so that you can quickly return to them);
- thirdly, it is much more convenient to navigate in them among dozens of books (they allow you to download covers and present it all conveniently).
In general, to appreciate all their benefits, you should try at least once! 😉 And so ...
