For those of you who use public transport, reading could be difficult sometimes. I know myself that reading whilst in motion often made be dizzy and this is a common complaint or trying to hold a book whilst be jostled by other commuters, poor lighting and jerking motions of bus or train also made concentration an almost impossible task.

Maybe you are one of those people who want to read but can't find the time, when asked by a friend have you read a certain book have you heard yourself replying "When would I have time to read?" or have you sat down to read only to find yourself looking at the windows which badly needed cleaning or remembering you have to pick up the dry cleaning. Imagine listen to those books whilst you cooked the dinner, exercised on the treadmill, vacuumed the living room, etc.
