Podiobooks is a similar episodic audio rendition of free audio books as podcasts. Like lot of podcasts,
you can receive them as RSS feeds or download them directly. The number of categories is well
covered from alternative history to chick lit and satire. The audio book site has about 434 titles in its

5. 9/16/12 10 Websites For Free Audio Books
Audio books are just one of the sections covered on this site which focuses on educational media
collected from other sites. You get to download free courses from universities in MP3 format, language
lessons as podcasts, and a variety of other podcasts that cover subjects like technology, travel, music,
science, and more.
Learn Out Loud (http://www.learnoutloud.com/)
LearnOutLoud.com is a well designed and large collection of audio books. Their catalog has 25,000
audio and video titles in a mixture of paid and free. You can click on the tab marked as Free Stuff to
access the free audio books that are available for download with a right click.
All usual genres are well represented. For instance, if you are into self development, you have 425 titles
to choose from. All titles are rated and reviewed.
Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/)
Project Gutenberg is the ongoing effort to digitize and archive cultural works in the form of eBooks. It
also works in co-operation with websites like LibriVox and AudioBooksForFree
(http://audiobooksforfree.com/) for creating audio books. As a result, you can browse through their
www.makeuseof.com/tag/easy-listening-pleasures-10-websites-free-audio-book-downloads/ 5/11
6. 9/16/12 10 Websites For Free Audio Books
comprehensive list of human and machine read audio books.
You can go through the list alphabetically for author and title. Audio books are also available in a number
of languages. But the quicker way would be to use the Advanced Search
(http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/world/search) page.
Storynory (http://storynory.com/)
A free audio book site especially for children is a nice little place for classic children stories like “˜A
Christmas Carol’, fairy tales “˜Aesop’, educational stories that cover The Bible or history, and lots of
other original stuff. You can download a free audio story every week.
Librophile (http://www.librophile.com/)
The interface at first glance appears a bit off-the-wall. Then you realize that it’s a search tool for
eBooks. Librophile collects and displays eBooks mostly from LibriVox and Audible. Click on the Free
button and then go through the listings.
A mouseover over the thumbnail cover gives you a sketchy summary. You can download the free audio
books as a ZIP file, play it in the browser, or check it out as a readable eBook. Clicking on a title takes
you to the Audible or LibriVox website.
Do you have any other free audio book site to add to the list? Personally, I have found audio books to
be the best way to beat traffic jams. What about you?

AudioforBooks.com offers a growing library of free audiobooks for its members. Membership is
free and there are other benefits for subscribers. I think you have summarized the benefits of
audiobooks very well in the first paragraph of this page.
It’s the quality of the narration that projects the scene of the story into the mind of the listener
that makes a great audio book. This is often borne out by listening to the same book, read by a
different narrator.
Recording an audiobook is no simple task and does require certain skills by the narrator, an
analogy I sometimes use to explain this is, most people can sing! But not everyone can do it
really well.

books that are offered through memberships at your local library. They have many newer titles,

mention…it’s FREE?

and it’s yours forever!
