I've started using Amazon Audible for audiobooks

Instead of spending the equivalent of $10 a month on the lottery I’m going to spend it on an audiobook. I don’t have the concentration to read, but can listen to audiobooks.

I used to love reading, so I’m excited about this. :smiley:

How exciting! I know it must be hard not to be able to read. I don’t know what I would do if I lacked concentration, Probably listen to audiobooks like you!

That’s a great idea. Have you checked out the sites that have free public domain works read by volunteers? I compiled some awhile back for a blind friend and I don’t recall the sites offhand, but I could find them again. We put a bunch of classics on his ipod. He got free audio books on account of his blindness, but it wasn’t unlimited and he needed more material.

I found audible to be expensive and couldn’t run it through my stereo easily, but I love listening t audiobooks. So easy to just sit there and let the imagination be taken for a ride…

Oh… That looks like a pirate site. It’s against the rules to post such links. Can you edit your post and remove the link? Or we’ll both be in trouble! :smile:

This is one of the ones I used. If you google free public domain audio books you’ll find others.

If you keep it up most of your new investments will be in earphones.
