“By way of introduction, our friend Jorgen sent in this post to draw attention to the audio book features on various eBook Readers out there. Many thanks! J.C.”
Since many ebook-reading devices can play mp3, I thought some of you would find the following links interesting.
I prefer reading to listening, but the history podcasts by Lars Brownworth in mp3 format are incredibly interesting and I would strongly recommend that you give them a try even if you are not a history buff. All the podcasts are free of charge.
Mr. Brownworth was a history teacher when he created the first set “The History of the Byzantine Empire,” but resigned in order to research and write the book published earlier this month “Lost to the West” and, yes, there is a Kindle version, but as far as I can see, nothing for the rest of us.
More recently, he has started a new series based on the Norman Centuries.
If you are a history buff, try searching Google for an example: “history podcasts.”
