Are audio books for the blind better than the regular ones?

I've tried a few audio books but they're not too good IMO. I know there are audio books specifically for the blind, have you had experience with those, are they better in any way?Are audio books for the blind better than the regular ones?
The quality of an audio book hinges on the narrator.

I look for books read by actors as their acting and voice training gives expression to their reading.



There's a range of books in our local library produced by the Royal Blind Society which I would only borrow if I needed to put someone into a coma...read by (well meaning) volunteers, they drone and drone. These would have been intended for use by the blind but they are SO bad to listen to.



I also like some authors who read their own books eg. Douglas Adams, (hitchhikers guide to the galaxy) and Irish writer Frank McCourt who does a beautiful reading of his biography in his gentle Irish accent.



I found that there is a big range available, make use of your local library and the interlibrary loan services, let them do the work for you!



I borrow an audio book at least every week from our library so have been through quite a few.Are audio books for the blind better than the regular ones?
Well audio books are easier than braille books and braille books are easier than regular books. I'm not aware that there is any difference between the audio books for regular markets and audio books for the blind - except, perhaps, in the cost. Most audio books for the blind are read by volunteers, whereas the books for the general public are read by professional readers/actors and so cost more.Are audio books for the blind better than the regular ones?
No. An audiobook is an audiobook is an audiobook. Audiobooks "for the blind" are the same as audiobooks for those who can see. That's like asking if books for the deaf are better than the regular ones!
