Audiobooks are simply the books in digital media form. Audiobooks are very helpful, especially if you are quite busy and have no time for reading books. You could just get them in your cellphone, iPod, iPhone or an mp3 player and listen to them while traveling or driving. LibriVox is the online depository of downloadable audiobooks. The objective of LibriVox project is to make all books in the public domain available, for free, in audio format on the internet.
LibriVox is a non-commercial, non-profit and volunteers powered project. Volunteers records (i.e. read aloud) those books which have been out of copyrights. These audiobooks are available in popular formats like mp3, ogg etc.
Here are some features of this free tool.
- Wide range of public domain books available.
- Offers RSS feeds for new releases of audiobooks.
- Lets you volunteer by helping you record and publish your own audiobook easily.
- Active forum of members available if you need any help.
As I mentioned earlier downloadable audiobooks can be carried anywhere with a portable device and can be read, rather listened to whenever you are free for listening. Hence Audiobooks can save your time, help you in managing your life better and generate your interest in the topic. You can opt for various types of books which includes religious books as well.
