Even if you only have very more popular recently, the concept of audio book goes back about eighty years old! Initially, books on tape or LP's were produced for the blind. I Here is a brief look back in history:
Already in the 1920s, the Royal National Institute for the Blind in England (RNIB) to initiate an investigation to find the best way to produce audio books for blind soldiers were the result of the First World War battles. Finally, decide not to produce audio books LP's and first made in 1926. To play they were put in the old-fashioned LP players had to be handle with the hand and turned the sound through Big Horn. This was a major development for the blind, but little used by ordinary consumers. So those of RNIB audio books is still a niche product, and never to the masses.
The concept was a success and in 1936 the Royal National Institute for the Blind in motion the "Talking Book Service". The first two books were produced: "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Agatha Christie) and 'Thyphoon" (Joseph Conrad). Given that the records can only store 25 minutes of spoken text, a average audio book, recorded an average of ten records.
During World War II, the study used by the RNIB was bombed, and a month later a replacement studio was bombed as well, the destruction of much needed equipment to continue production. The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB), which had begun to produce audio books in the U.S. sent spare parts and equipment to London so that production could be resumed.
The LP Modern LP were replaced by outdated and finally, cassettes, making listening to audio books more convenient. Sony Walkman has allowed his audio book with you and listen on the fly. This is where audio books began to be bought by consumers in general. The next step was to produce these books, listening to the CD, which makes them even more convenient.
In recent years the technology of audio books has made a quantum leap: Digital MP3 files can be packaged as a player that weighs only few grams and works with a set of batteries for many hours. The most popular player is undoubtedly the Apple iPod, but there are many other MP3 players on the market that have helped to listen to content on the go very popular.
