My wife, Dianne Rodway, loves audio books. She participates in two book clubs and this is her favorite way to "read" the assigned texts. Thought you might like to know where to download audio books.
- Audible.com features more than 50,000 digital titles including novels, magazines, radio shows, and podcasts. A one-month subscription costs $15. Non-members can download books for $15 to $50 per title.
- Overdrive.com partners with libraries Nationwide to offer free book downloads to library cardholders. A word of warning: most books come in WMA format, which requires devices compatible with Windows.
- Audiobooksforfree.com has a "generous (if eclectic) selection of titles." The catch? Most books in the public domain are "musty classics rather than today's best-sellers". Free audio recordings also tend to be low quality; higher-quality versions cost from $5 to $8.
- Apple's Itunes Store has thousands of titles for purchase. Costs vary depending on the nature of the publication.
