Wikipedia:

's [[AubreyвЂ“Maturin series#The Mauritius Command|The Mauritius Command]] read
by Patrick Tull]] An 'audiobook' is a recording that is primarily of the spoken
word as opposed to music. While it is often based on a recording of commercially
available printed material, this is not always the case; nor is this required to
fit the definition of an audiobook, which is why "audiobook" is one word rather
than two. It was not intended to be descriptive of the word "book" but is rather
a recorded spoken program in its own right and not necessarily an audio version
of a book.

Spoken audio was originally primarily available in school and public libraries
and to a lesser extent in music shops. It was not until the 1980s that there
began a concerted effort to attract book retailers. As book publishers entered
the field of spoken-word publishing, the transition to book retailers carrying
audiobooks became commonplace on bookshelves rather than in separate displays.

To put it simply, it is textual content (usually, that of a regular book) spoken
and recorded onto a medium such as CDs or cassettes. This makes the content
accessible to the blind or illiterate.
