As wonderful a learning tool as audiobooks are, even modestly-priced versions are beyond a few people's means. That's why I've been developing a list of "Free Audiobook Sites" that you'll see in the navigation bar at the left of this page.
For my own part, I have taken a cursory look and a listen at (and to) a handful of titles, and in some cases, the quality's pretty sketchy. In these cases you get what you pay for. In other cases, the books sound surprisingly delightful, and are a bargain even if you'd paid for them.
A number of sites have begun to offer one-off giveaways, and if I find one that seems exceptional, I'll try to pass it along. But for the purposes of my permanent link bar collection, I'll stick with the sites that offer a variety of choices. So if you're looking for options that will enable personal audiobook learning on a library budget, my list of free audiobook sites may offer some value.
