[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3991270, member: 53"] Since I got an Ipod for Christmas this year I have been looking more and more at audio books (my old MP3 player wasn't really appropriate). I have had one or two before for my car, but really never got much into them (unless you count old-time radio). The biggest issue I have is price. For the most part they are in the price range of hardback books and often higher. The few examples that are less expensive (such as audible.com) are subscription based services and I'm not sure I'd use them that often (I still prefer old fashioned books). After a recent blog of Monte Cook's I looked at few of the free places online. Unfortunately, the results were pretty poor. The Warlord of Mars book was read in an utterly boring fashion. The Odyssey was better, but still not very engaging. I know there are good examples out there. One of the few I used to own was [I]The Screwtape Letters[/I]. It was read by John Cleese and was utterly engaging. Of course, most free sites aren't going to afford someone of his stature, but there must be some better options out there. [/QUOTE]
