What's popular in One Click digital audiobooks at the moment? A surprisingly diverse range of audiobooks are being downloaded from Hurstville City Library's new audiobook collection. Popular fiction choices include titles written by JoJo Moyes, Harlan Coben, Marian Keyes, Stieg Larsson, Freya North and John Sandford. Charlaine Harris' fans of the Sookie Stackhouse series (The Southern Vampire Mysteries),which HBO based its hit television series True Blood on, may like to download Grave Surprise (Harper Connelly series), and listen to the story of a college class that gets more than it bargains for when Harper gives a demonstration of her uncanny talent.

Popular non-fiction choices at the moment include the landmark biography of Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson, who paints a definitive portrait of a truly remarkable man. For those who would like to understand the real meaning behind Einstein's most famous equation, there is Why does E =mc(2)? which explores the principles of physics through everyday life.

The Fry Chronicles

Actor, writer, journalist, comedian, television presenter. Stephen Fry has had a long and illustrious career spanning over 25 years. His second volume of autobiography, The Fry Chronicles, has recently been released, not only as a beautiful printed hardback, but also as an audiobook and an incredible and modern iPhone and iPad app! Now fancy that!






What do you think? Are iPhone apps the way of our literary future? Should the more traditional version of The Fry Chronicles be suggested for purchase for Hurstville Library?
