#22 Audio books

I have never been enthusiastic about e-books because they have to be read on a screen and for reading enjoyment I much prefer the book format. However I could get used to audio books. For a library I think the idea of instantly available downloadable audio books sounds great - unlimited access 24 hours a day 7 days a week, a great range of books to choose from, able to download and listen anywhere. For the library no more reshelving, lost books, or lack of shelving space. Apart from socialising and a place to study why would anyone need to come to a library anymore?
