After that initial trial, I started checking out ways to get more full-length audio books on CD. Becoming a full member at a website like Audible.com is one option, but I didn't want to lock myself in to paying $15 or more each month for audio books on CD. For those who can afford it, Audible is an excellent choice. They have a massive selection of full-length audio books on CD, including a big number of new releases from the most popular authors around. The download interface appears to be easy enough to use, and the files are able to be played on any digital music player available on the market. But like I said, I didn't want to pay for a membership, so I continued searching.
I then found a website called Libras that offers free unabridged audio books that anybody can download without paying a dime. The catch is that they only handle periodicals which are in the public domain (meaning titles that are more than 75 years of age) and the works are read by volunteers. If you like reading classics and do not mind the wildly varying degree of aptitude amongst the volunteers, then this would be a great alternative to joining a pay-to-listen program.
The best source of free whole audio books turned out to be my local public library. My valid membership card allows me to "borrow" whole audio books for either 14 or 21 days, after which time the files expire and can't be played any longer. Two to three weeks is a great deal of time to get through one single book, so I've never had a problem with the time limit. Also, I don't mind that I cannot use the files again after the lending period expires. It's not just as if there are many books out there that I would listen to over and over again.
Now that I am getting free unabridged audio-books from my library, my daily commute has become more enjoyable and productive than ever. I love being able to just sit there and be entertained by listening to a great story as I drive. If you are focused on unabridged audio-books too, then I suggest checking out the sites on the net I mentioned above as well as your nearest library. I'm sure you'll find something you can listen to!
