✅ Solved Just a Thought: Maybe Adding an Audiobook Section?

[DukeRien]

Heya! I just had a little thought while browsing my stash. What if we had a section or space dedicated to audiobooks?

I'm not quite sure if this has already been suggested or discussed (I tried searching but nothing popped up). Some people, myself included, enjoy reading books while listening to their audiobook versions. It really helps with my immersion and even improves reading speed.

It could be a nice way to expand the community's library, maybe just a space where members can share or request audiobooks.

I'm also open to hearing thoughts on why an audiobook section could or couldn't be added (more free knowledge, yay!).

Thought I'd put the idea out there in case others might be interested too .

I've found this method to be most helpful to my adhd, Its the only way i can focus while reading, so I agree that an audio book section would be a great addition .

Right? It really makes a difference.

I'm glad the idea resonated with you. Makes me feel like this suggestion wasn't just me rambling to myself .

Adding an audiobook section could enhance the community by:

• Letting members enjoy books while listening, which aids comprehension and immersion.
• Allowing people to share, request, and discover audiobooks easily.
• Expanding the library and making the community more versatile for different learning styles

Yup, exactly my thought process when I put this suggestion out there.

There might be cons with this audiobooks section idea, I just hope that the pros outweigh it.

It would be a good idea would we download them and listen to them?

Yeah, that's pretty much the idea!

If an audiobook section gets added, members could share audiobooks that others can download and listen to. It'd give everyone another way to enjoy books.

Cool hopefully the staff might take it on board.
