Audiobooks are great. They let you listen to books on road trips and during your commute. Sometimes on Audible the book is even cheaper than the paperback version. However, one downside of an audiobook is that you can't see the images, graphs, tables, and diagrams that are in the print book. Another downside is that you can't click on the URL links like you can with the eBook or scan the URL QR codes like you can in the hard copy book.

In The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students book, the visual information is integral to the content. You will find below the tables, graphs, and diagrams referenced within the audiobook, the end-of-chapter “Additional Resources” URLs, and the text notes for all referenced outside sources. The Table of Contents links will help you easily navigate to the information you are looking for.
