The Best Method

Sometimes I watch Masterpiece Theatre on National Public Radio. Sunday evening the program was Jane Eyre. I started looking at listening and found that I was missing some of the language. That is not unusual for me and some TV programs. Jane Eyre was downloaded as printed text and also as an e-audiobook from the World Wide Web. I started reading and listening to the book. After a few chapters I found that I enjoyed it more by listening to Jane Eyre being read to me by a skilled reader, from viewing on TV or in a the copy of a printed book.

What is remarkable about the above paragraph is that in the matter of a 15 or 20 minutes, in my own room, I was able to start watching a TV program, download from the World Wide Web, a complete book and an audio recording of the book and make the decision which suited me best. The advantage of a printed books and e-audiobooks is that you can read or listen when the time suits you the best.
