I've been having trouble finding any Realms Books that are available on audio. Are their any at all? And if not, could we expect them to be sometime soon, or eventually?
...Maybe even a few read by Ed himself?

I've heard something about some of the Drizzt books being available as audiobooks, but I don't know of any specific FR titles that are available as audiobooks. So those Drizzt audiobooks I heard of might or might not actually exist.
Audiobooks are not something I pay any attention to. |

Normally, I don't either. But I have friends that have demanding jobs, but are able to listen to MP3 players at work, and that's how they get their doses of literature since they have very little time to read. |

Heh. Especially if he started branching out into other areas. They'd definitely make great reading material for the little one.

I've got audio-readings of the Shadows of the Avatar trilogy on my computer, but... A - they're not official, and B - they were done by some amateur with too much spare time on his hands using a headset and the sound-recorder included in Windows, so C - no-one else can ever, ever hear them. |

I've been looking too and all I can find are Salvatore's books. Maybe he had a special clause in his contract that allowed him to do his as Audio books.
I like audio books because I can listen while doing other stuff and I am not tempted to skip a page when the story gets slow ;) |

Yeah. I probably should have added handsome, witty, and modest to the description to make things clear |
