I mentioned this on our sister blog, Apple Gazette today, but I think it that you Forever Geek readers will want to know about it too…so…



I’m very excited to report that Star Wars audio books are now available on iTunes…and there are a TON of them. 67 titles in all. The variety of titles range from novelizations of the films to the Jedi Order series and even further reaches into the Expanded Universe. There is enough Star Wars content here to keep you listening for years!



One thing some may consider a drawback is that almost all of the title are the Abridged audio versions. Now, I feel that it is important to point out one fact about novels that not everyone is aware of…Novels are padded. Almost always. Publishers need books to reach certain page lengths for printing purposes…and if the story isn’t long enough…the author has to add content until it is….SO…Abridged is not always a bad thing…and I don’t think you’re going to miss too much by listening to only 3 to 6 hours of story instead of 8.

Prices range from $12.95 to $18.95 depending on length, with the unabridged books coming in at $25.95-$31.95.
