An audiobook is a recorded version of a book that is read aloud. Instead of reading the text, people can listen to the story or content being narrated by a voice actor or sometimes the author. Audiobooks can be helpful for people who prefer to listen rather than read, or for those who want to enjoy a book while doing other activities. They are available in digital formats and can be played on devices like smartphones, computers, or dedicated audio players.
