Audiobook Websites
Bob Brooks posted this entry on our e-mail group: “I've posted a step-by-step procedure for importing a set of audiobook CDs into iTunes where you can put them on your iPod.” === Bob's 'How to article' === Bob's e-mail set off a series of e-mails from our members telling of their favorite audiobook websites. I also included some of their comments.
Listed below, in no particular order, are the sites.

Audiobooks For Free
Many books from which to choose. They are cheap, but not free.
Audible
Does have some tough DRM (digital rights mgmt) attached to them.
Gutenberg
Get the Sherlock Holmes series. They are terrific. UPDATE: Most of the books I've downloaded from the free sites are read by volunteers and are less than earthshaking. An exception was the Sherlock Holmes series I downloaded from gutenberg a few years ago. I revisited the Sherlock Holmes books and found they are now read by volunteers. A big let down. Maybe there were some copyright problems?
County of Los Angeles Public Library
If you have a County of Los Angeles Public Library Card, then you can check out audio books for free.
You need to download their special software, === Special software download link ===, which allows you to put them on your iPod. The library audiobook expires after 3 weeks.
Problem is the Mac versions aren't as plentiful as the Windows versions.
