I love to read, but find it hard to fit in some quiet time on a regular basis. I am normally far too busy with my work and my family to sit down with a book. Then I saw an internet advertisement 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 tried. I loved it! Rather than having to find extra time to read, I could now just listen to a book while traveling back and forth between 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 such as Audible.com is one option, but I did not want to lock myself in to paying $15 or more every month for audio books on CD. For those who can afford it, Audible is an outstanding choice. They have a massive selection of unabridged audio books on CD, including a big number of brand-new releases from the most popular writers around. The download interface appears to be simple enough to use, and the files are able to be played on any digital music competitor available on the market. But like I said, I didn't wish to pay for a membership, so I kept looking.

I then found a web-site called Libras that offers free complete audio books that anyone can download without paying a dime. The catch is that they only manage publications that are in the public domain (meaning titles that are more than 75 years of age) and the works are read by people who volunteer. If you like reading classics and do not 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 very best source of free unabridged audio-books turned out to be my local public library. My legitimate membership card allows me to "borrow" whole 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 whole lot of time to get through a single book, so I've never had a problem with the time limit. Also, I do not mind that I cannot 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.

Now that I'm getting free full-length audio books from my library, my everyday commute has become more enjoyable and productive 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're interested in full-length audio books too, then I recommend checking out the sites on the net I mentioned above in addition to your nearest library. I'm sure you'll find something you can listen to!
