I love to read, but find it hard to fit in some quiet time on a regular basis. I am generally way too busy with my work and my home life to sit down with a book. Then I saw a web-based ad for a site that sells complete audio-books, and I clicked through to check it out. 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 simply listen to a book while commuting back and forth from work.

After that first trial, I started checking out ways to get more unabridged 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 into paying $15 or more each month for audio books on CD. For those that can afford it, Audible is an outstanding choice. They have a massive selection of unabridged audio books on CD, including a big number of new releases from the most popular authors around. The download interface seems to be simple enough to use, and the files can be played on any digital music competitor available on the market. But like I said, I didn't want to pay for a membership, so I continued searching.

I then found a website called Libras which offers free full-length audio-books that anyone can download without paying a dime. The catch is that they only manage magazines which are in the public domain (meaning titles that are more than 75 years old) and the works are read by volunteers. If you like reading classics and don't mind the wildly varying degree of competence amongst the volunteers, then this would be a great alternative to joining a pay-to-listen program.

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

Now that I am getting free unabridged books on cd from my library, my everyday commute has become more productive and enjoyable than ever. I really like being able to just sit there and be entertained by listening to a great story as I drive. If you are focused on unabridged books on cd too, then I suggest checking out the websites I mentioned above in addition to your nearest library. I'm sure you'll find something you can listen to!
