Library Downloads
Here’s something I’ve known about for a while, but haven’t posted it because I’m not eligible to download.
The library systems in many states (not mine, unfortunately), offer downloadable audiobooks to their patrons. These are first quality books and new releases. They have a licensing agreement that basically gives them the same right to allow patrons to check out audiobooks online just as though they were checking them out at their local branch library.
You must be a registered library patron residing in the service area of the library. You’ll be asked to enter the card number from your library card.
Do a Google search for your state’s library system, and see what they offer.

Well, the Houston library has just added this feature. However, the company they have contracted with uses a file format that cannot be used by anyone with an Apple iPod product. Once again, lets discriminate against the Apple user. Grrr.
