Media Form: Audio Book

Audiobooks are an electronic media form. Audiobooks are the narrated versions of physical books.  Often the book's author will narrate the book.  They often come in the form of a CD but sometimes are only online. Audiobooks have the same content as the physical books. When audiobooks are CDs their packaging often looks like the physical book version.

Here are some common conventions of audiobooks:

1. Introduction
2. Author's Note
3. Chapters
4. PDF versions of (certain) pages
