Audio books on cassette are becoming a thing of the past. Technology has propelled the enjoyment of reading into mainstream by providing a variety of reading options. The clunky, old cassette tapes are no longer the go-to media; they have been replaced by a wave of fast-acting, space-saving media options allowing readers to increase their personal libraries without the loss of space.What formats are available to audio book lovers?
Here are a few of the audio book formats available today:
Cassette tapes -- Audiobooks recorded on cassette tapes.

Playaways -- Audiobooks preloaded on specially formatted mp3 players.
