If you want to create and distribute audiobooks, you will need to choose an audiobook file format. There are a number of options available, including WAV, MP3, and M4B. WAV is the most popular format for books, but there are other types of files as well. For example, MP3 files can be very large. M4B files are much smaller and are more suited for podcasts.

AAX files are bundled versions of the MP3 and WAV audiobook file formats. They include a chapter marker and support digital bookmarking. M4B files can contain multiple MP3 and WAV audio files. These can be downloaded from a number of online repositories. If you have a good voice, you can record your own audiobooks in this format. However, you’ll need to be patient when trying to open these files.
