I speak for not just my self but for many other people who would rather listen in on the knowledge embodied within the PMBOK and other books. With all the modern modes of advancement in technology in communication.
Please kindly contribute if you have any solutions concerning this or acknowledge if you feel the need for this too. Saving Changes...
You can use Microsoft Narrator to get the PMBOK Guide read.
MS Narrator is a light-duty screen reader utility included in Microsoft Windows.
Audio/MP3 format I don't think is really required.

Thank you so much Anupam. I tried to use MS reader, however, it was to complicated to use for reading the PMBOK guide. This search for screen reader /narrator however, has led me to the discovery of NVDA screen reader. You can download it here. http://www.nvaccess.org/download/ Thanks so much

Very understandable Rami. I like hard copies too however, audio copies enable me to multitask.

I agree with Rami. I like to be able to have the choice to read some items over again if I didn't quite understand it or visualize it the first time. Not so easy with audio.

This is true Pete, but lets not forget that the audio version gives you the option of scrubbing and is quick to replay. I am not blind, but don't you agree that some blind people deserve the chance to learn project management in an easy way also?

I enjoy audio books while driving or walking. These books work better if they are sequential in nature, where you listen to it from beginning to end. I don't see them working well as a reference document.
For example, I have e-book copies of the Bible and the Qur'an. This medium is very appropriate for reference material. I cannot imagine trying to get to particular passages in an audio format.

Yes Mr. Parent. I have those two Holy books in audio version as well. I love to learn while I commute. I think its okay to have audio formats which can help to sink in/hard wire knowledge of some terms and the ITTO's

One thing that is certainly nice about audio books is that it gives you a chance to hear words pronounced. Sometimes we know words in written format but never get to hear them pronounced properly.
