The concept of audiobooks dates back to the 1930s, when the first audiobooks were created for visually impaired individuals. These early audiobooks were often produced by volunteer readers who recorded themselves reading books onto phonograph records. Fast forward to the 1980s, when audiobooks began to gain popularity among the general public. With the introduction of compact discs (CDs) and digital audio formats, audiobooks became more accessible and convenient.
