Just for instance, wanted Travels with Charley by Steinbeck. Cost £15 via the audible website. Am I missing something? Thought it might be cheaper than this. What is the best site and are there some special secrets?

Good morning, Rob.
I trust you are well, sir. Having purchased about a hundred talking books for an elderly relative, I, too, began to balk at twenty quid a pop. Fortunately, I have found a solution and would be glad to share the secret. I have my doubts about its legality, so have sent you a private message. Cheers. |

Nice one Poker, thanks for the heads up I have acted on your advice. In the meantime I have worked out that with that audible website all I have to do is "return" the book I have just listened to then I get another token with which I can borrow another. So I have returned "I, Partridge" and am now listening to "Travels with Charley" by Steinbeck. I am just one week into the month's free trial. After that it is £8 a month with presumably unlimited books using this token system as far as I can gather. Will perhaps pay for a mo th then reappraise the situation.
Thaks mate. |

The local library?
When I lived in Essex, they charged, I think about £1.50 for a 3 week loan of tapes or CDs. In Liverpool it was free, in the W. |

Have a look on Youtube and BBC I player Radio Drama.
I listened to The God Father on YouTube. Took about 2 months because I tend to fall asleep listening to talking books. |

Yeah I managed to get Travels with Charley in the end but fell asleep within about 10 minutes. Got a couple of good PG Wodehouse ones on youtube but you defo can't just get anything on there - more you get what you're given.

I'm not right keen on the guy reading this Steinbeck book, makes a massive difference who the reader is. This yank guy doesn't quite sound "gruff" enough for me. Alan P as, obviously, Alan P was brilliant. JOhnathan Cecil read the Psmith books and was perfect.
