I listen to a lot of these, the only problem is that everything under 100 years old is copyrighted so you'll either have to go via torrents or like I do listen to a lot of podcasts.
Free legitimate ones can be found here: http://librivox.org/ Its interesting listening to views that are 100 years old. You can also download PDF versions of the books and get text to audio software to do the reading but even current versions make the book sound like a Stephen Hawking lecture. |

thanks Ovalman, Up to date books are ideal for me. I do a lot of flying so I thought it would be an ideal way of passing the time. The prices shocked me tough, for example I was looking for Mike Athertons book Opening Up, most sites either didn't do it or wanted to charge over £10. I stupidly thought it would be (A) widely available and (B)a lot cheaper as it is a few years old.

I'm not 100% sure but I think your local library lends them out for free, if they do you could copy it to your PC and then return.
There are quite a few torrents out there but they tend to be popular titles. I've noticed plenty of obscure titles on itunes that I wouldn't mind reading that can't be found via torrents. |

Soemthing to look out for is if the audio book you are purchasing is an abridgement ( a shortened/condensed) version of the actual book.
Most of the audio books are which I feel is a bit of a rip off to be honest. I try to find an unabridged version. Likely to cost more but at least you get the story word for word as it appears in the novel |

Invest in a microphone and do it it yourself. How hard can it be FFS?

I get loads from the library, I've heard more books and old radio shows when I'm driving than I've ever read traditionally.
What's interesting is that when I was in Essex, it cost about £2 (or thereabouts) to borrow talking books for 3 weeks, whereas i Liverpool, they're free.. Anyway, just go to the library, imo. |

On Audible they have those prices but if you pay 6 quid a month u can pick any book each month. Note that you have to pick it within that month or u lose it .
