[blindlaw] audio books

[Sharlyn Ayotte]

Hello Joshua and Stephanie,

I too use Audible.com and find the service terrific. There are frequent 
sales and a subscriber can purchase audio books for approximately $10 each. 
The good news however, is that an increasing number of public libraries are 
adopting a similar platform and making audio book downloads available to 
library patrons through mainstream methods...no requirement for proprietary 
technology, and no requirement to identify as a person with a disability to 
take out books. Progress sure feels sweet. Many mainstream libraries are 
offering this new service either as a public program offering or as a pilot 
project.

Best Regards,
Sharlyn

I do not know of a free source of audio books.  I would be happy to learn of
one myself.  The least expensive way I know to get them is to. download them
from the website.
http://.audible.com you pay $23 a month for a membership.  Then you can
download any to audio books which you want.  I have purchased books which
would normally cost $65 on CD, for $11.  I like audio books a lot.  This is
the best deal I have found.
