Very interesting to have a look at what's happening in the world of audiobooks and the potential for libraries to offer this service via internet downloads. The World eBook site was fun to have a play with. There's a lot of old, out-of-copyright material here and it's a great resource for this kind of thing. Lots of literary classics - Sherlock Holmes, Shakespeare sonnets, some obscure sci-fi from Baen books. I had a listen to some of The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, some Andrew Marvell and Edgar Allan Poe. However, as is always the case with audiobooks the quality and style of the reader are very important.It's also interesting to see what's happening with Project Gutenberg.
