How to Get Audiobooks for Free
Everyone loves free. And everyone loves to listen to stories. So, it should be no surprise that there is a huge demand for free audio books.
The trouble is finding truly free audio books. The short answer is that there are two solutions that provide free audiobooks. If you want a book written by someone still living, you can get one free audio book from a site like AudiobooksOnlineStore.com.
If you are a bit more flexible, you can find a big library of public domain books turned into free audio books by the volunteers at Librivox.
A public domain book in theUnited States is a book that was written by an author who died before 1941. The 1941 date is a rolling date as the copyright term is life plus 70 years. So, in 2011 the cutoff is 1941. Next year the cutoff will be 1942 and so on.
The public domain books might be a bit old, but they are lots of classics just waiting for you to enjoy them.
