Audio Books Onlne
I just finished writing to you (in another article) all about the maddening, interfering, altogether troublesome experiences for serious book shoppers trying to access products on shelves in physical bookstores when lay-abouts and freeloaders block every *&%&)))(%$$#% aisle. I pointed you in the direction of audio books online by way of the online bookstores and auction spots I frequent. That is, because of the genius of Gates, Jobs, and hundreds of others, we can shop for audio books online and avoid the b.s. of doing so in person…with—ugh—other persons.
For starters, some great sites, such as Amazon.com, EBay (search “audio book”), and Powells.com, offer audio books online for sale. But further, we can also find audio books online, books that are not for sale but are in the free domain, as the books on which the audios are based have been in existence, were written, or were approved for re-reading before or beyond intellectual property/copyright laws. In other words, there are numerous audio books online that you do not have to struggle to find, buy, or access.
Now when you do a general search for audio books online, be forewarned: you will get such items/titles as I describe here. You will also get too many online books results with your search engine from those SELLING audio books online…such is the versatility or virtue of the vendors cashing in, etc.. So I will start you off with a list of audio books online that are not necessarily bestsellers, contemporary text books for science class, or any kind of books for sale. All of the following, that is, are FREE audio books online…literally:
Wired for Books (http://wiredforbooks.org/) - Not only features books online, but poetry, oratories, and audio books online…audio versions of literature read by the living writers (reading aloud their own works) and read by writers and literati (reading aloud the works of those long gone but not forgotten).
Professor Martin Spinelli’s Literary Audio Links page (http://wings. buffalo.edu/epc/sound/links.html) – ample possibilities here. Though not all are audio books online, many are snippets, excerpts and full texts of short stories, essays, and more.
Random House’s Bold Type (http://wings.buffalo.edu/epc/ sound/links.html) – features excerpts of the hottest of literature. Wonderful possibilities, here.
Jewish Stories from the Old World to the New (http://wings.buffalo. edu/epc/sound/links.html) – audio books online, audio excerpts, and audio short stories—read by celebrities and star authors.
So maybe when you search and want to find not ALL audio books online but audio versions of books that are actually, chapter for chapter and page by page on…line, you might start with those sites I list here…or type in a new search phrase that includes the word “free”?
