Take a look at the audiobook titles available on NetLibrary and download a small title to listen to from the PC.

I couldn’t use NetLibrary so I had a look at http://worldebookfair.com/. Ebooks aren’t my thing but I can see the potential they offer.

Leider haben wir keinen Zugang :(

Listening to an entertaining audio book while driving or doing chores is a great way to accomplish two things at the same time. The cd/cassette format is bulky and prone to disappoinment when you find you are 1000 miles away from home and the last cd/cassette is broken! Imagine downloading 5 books onto a device the size of a bic – and NO LATE FEES!! What’s not to love about this? (Except maybe the libraries that are tallying late fees or in person visits to the library)

I’ve been using NetLibrary for about a year for downloadable audiobooks. It’s a little rough explaining to people some of the quirky stuff, but so nice to be able to download and listen to a book FOR FREE. (well, free to the user)
