#22 Audiobooks and #23 Downloadable Media

Audiobooks, e-books, eReaders...we have come a long way with technology. Say goodbye to Borders and whatever other book stores are trying to survive. Digital books have arrived!
Well, not entirely.
Audiobooks will become more and more common across society and over the next five years we will see a massive influx of digital content from novels to recipe books, all in digital format.
Student textbooks and novels are the main items i'd like to see in digital format for use on an ipad or other device.
The ESL or curriculum support teams at school will benefit greatly from audiobooks and i can see them being widely accepted over paper versions. Anything that students can listen to on their ipod's or phones will be more attractive than reading a novel.
As for where to get audiobooks, I especially love the fact that Project Gutenburg is absolutely free.
Copyright is a major hurdle to overcome, but with digital rights management software, I'm sure audiobooks will offer some copyright protection system.
