Thing #22 Audiobooks

NetLibrary eAudiobooks is described as the world's premier provider of electronic books, but I was unable to progress as I use an Apple computer which is incompatible with Netlibrary content. I was determined to find some free and accessible audiobooks content so I ran a Google search and found the following free options.


The best of the lot is the Gutenberg Project, which appeals particularly to my librarian sensibilities - bibliographic records and multiple source locations. I selected diverse works such as The Iliad by Homer, The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci and just out of curiosity, the Manners, Custom and Dress During the Middle Ages and During the Renaissance Period by Paul Lacroix.

Free downloadable audiobooks have the capacity to extend the circulation of great works of literature with this low cost electronic option.
