I love to read, but find it hard to fit in some quiet time on a consistent basis. I am generally way too busy with my work and my family to sit down with a book. Then I saw an online advertisement for a site that sells complete audio books, and I clicked through to look it over. They were offering a free trial download, which I took advantage of. I loved it! Instead of having to find extra time to read, I could now just listen to a book while commuting back and forth between work.

After that original trial, I started checking out ways to get more whole audio books on CD. Becoming a full member at a website like Audible.com is one option, but I didn't want to lock myself in to paying $15 or more each month for audio books on CD. For those who can afford it, Audible is an exceptional choice. They have a massive selection of whole audio books on CD, including a big number of new releases from the most popular authors around. The download interface appears to be easy enough to use, and the files are able to be played on any digital music competitor on the market. But as I said, I didn't want to pay for a membership, so I continued searching.

I then found a web-site called Libras that offers free unabridged audio books that anyone can download without paying one dime. The catch is that they only handle periodicals which are in the public domain (meaning titles that are more than 75 years of age) and the works are read by volunteers. If you like reading classics and do not mind the wildly varying degree of skill amongst the people who volunteer, then this would be a great alternative to joining a pay-to-listen program.

The best source of free complete audio-books turned out to be my local public library. My valid membership card allows me to "borrow" whole books on cd for either 14 or 21 days, after which time the mp3s expire and can't be played any longer. Two to three weeks is a great deal of time to get through one single book, so I've never had a problem with the time limit. Also, I don't mind that I cannot use the files over after the lending period expires. It's not just as though there are many books out there that I would listen to over and over again.

Now that I am getting free full-length audio-books from my library, my daily commute has become more enjoyable and productive than ever. I really like being able to just sit there and be entertained by hearing a great story as I drive. If you are excited about full-length audio-books too, then I suggest checking out the sites on the net I mentioned above in addition to your nearest library. I'm sure you will find something you can listen to!
