I've known about Project Gutenberg for a long time but I wasn't aware that you could also download audio books. I listened to "Peter Rabbit". The available titles all seem quite old but I guess that's because they're out of copyright. Then I wondered if more current titles were available. So I "googled" "The kite runner" and mp3. I rememberd a colleague saying that her son had downloaded this and there it was.
I'm sure downloadable audiobooks are the future. Imagine no more chewed up tapes and scratched discs!!! The only problem will be making it as easy for people (especially the elderly) to browse online as browse the shelves.
