Free Audio Books
If you're looking for free audio books, the web is the bestplace to find them. There are plenty of sites that offer free audiobooks that are in the public domain, read by very talented narrators (Iwouldn't suggest listening to the books narrated by computers; theysound very odd and take away from the story, in my opinion).

You can download these stories directly onto your computer and putthem on your iPod or other mobile device, burn them onto a CD to listento in the car, etc. Here are some of the best sources to find freeaudio books on the web:
