you could download a program like utorrent then just download whatever you want from torrent sites like isohunt.org Google "peer-to-peer file sharing" if you need a bit more info but basically it lets you download music, films, books, computer software, all sorts really.

re msg 3. I use usenext. http://www.usenext.com They do a free trial. There are thousands of talking books. If you want I could download a couple for you and email them to you. Just email me what titles you want

You have to download the software and start the free trial. I think you get a 3gb allowance on the free trial which would let you to get 1000's of audio books probably. You could then just cancel. Its worth keeping going though because all the latest films, books, audio books, songs etc etc etc are put on there. I've had a lot of films before they have been released at the cinema ;-)



I pay 9.99 euros a month for a 25gb download allowance. There is a 'free' option that I use that allows you to download as much as you want but you still have to pay for the subscription :-( You can just pay month by month though and cancel at any time

Have you thought about using a library? When I was inquiring about e-readers a forum member suggested I look at Essex libraries as they have these and they are up to date plus you can download them, so I am guessing but they MAY well have audio books as well.



Who knows, but you need to be registered or have someone else register.
