I've always read a lot and reading an actual book has slowed down a bit with having kids and everything else that comes with being an adult. However WANTING to read and just get lost in a good book hasn't went away and I've passed that onto the kids. One of the ways we get that in is audio books! My favorite is putting in on while I'm in bed just relaxing and can fall asleep to it. (also sometimes gives you some really crazy dreams so .. depending on what you are listening too it can get interesting! haha).
Awhile back I got a really good deal on 2 Echos and now we have one in each bed room. All you have to do is say "Alexa, read me a book!" and she will pick a book from Audible and read it. Easy enough to request what book when your library gets a little out of hand..*ahem* and skip to whatever chapter you left off on. Audible is from Amazon so it has a ton of books, old and new so there is ALWAYS something good to find. You don't need an Echo to listen, phone or computer work too :) I just really love the convenience of the Echo for lots of things besides books.
You can sign up for Audible now and get 2 free books with your 30 day free trial! Cancel any time and keep your books forever :D I have the membership to get 2 credits each month making them about $12 each. Its a great deal seeing how a lot of the books we listen to are around $25!!! If you have the kindle version of the book you get a discount on the Audible ones too! Makes it a fun way for kids to read with the book :p
