# 22 Audiobooks

I liked Project Gutenberg when it was first started and I like World EBook Fair - Gutenberg's Audio eBook Collection with its ability to make classic books available free as audio files. They seem fairly well produced and read.

Gutenberg Computer Voice Audio eBook Collection is text "read" by an automated voice and is a littlet weirder. It is not very engaging, but is free and may be the only way that a sightless person can have access to particular books so I think it does serve a valuable purpose.

The Sound of Literary Works Collection is also quite nice and free also. We really are still in the golden age of the net, with so many things still free and so many people willing to give time and resources voluntarily.

World EBook Fair site is good directory for these resources

The World Public Library Children's Literature Collection is an example of ebooks available on a subscription basis, and where children's classics are available as pdf. I was unable to obtain samples but I think on these occasions a colourfully bound and produced hard copy is still hard to beat.
