Podiobooks

Podiobooks are serialized audio books which are made available in podcast format. Listeners to Podiobooks can choose to receive the episodes of their books via an RSS feed or by listening to episodes by directly downloading episodes from this site.

Some listeners keep the audio files on their computers, some transfer the book to CD, but most transfer the file on to their mp3 player so they can listen no matter where they are. Many authors do this to get exposure for their work, others do it in the hopes you'll buy their next work in development.
