Best site for free audiobooks?

[Alfred001]

What is the most comprehensive site for free audiobooks out there? Or is there a torrent tracker out there? I'm hoping to find something where I could find most things so I don't have to scour the internet every time I'm looking for my next read.

Librivox.org is a volunteer based provider of open source audiobooks if you want anything in the public domain. Because the readers are volunteers (and often with longer works you might have several contributors) the quality can be inconsistent, but it is a free service after all.

There's one here I stumbled upon a bit back, not sure how good it is. Again there are volunteers reading but the homepage looks like they have some decent books on the site:

Here's another. Heavy focus on the classics:

Not the same thing but, for EPUB files: tuebl.ca and projectgutenberg.com

[Calidore]

Chilly, those are pirate e-book sites and don't belong here.

Project gutenberg only carries books in the public domain.

And I didn't realize that about tuebl

[Calidore]

Project gutenberg only carries books in the public domain.


That one can be found at www.gutenberg.org. The link you posted was something else again.

One other thing: try your local library. I've been able to download some REALLY good stuff--Lolita and Brideshead Revisited read by Jeremy Irons, I, Claudius read by Robert Graves and Derek Jacobi, and several Blackstone Audio books with a simple library card :-0.
