Where to find free audio books

Raju Shanbhag Raju Shanbhag

Books may be your best friends, but even friends change over a period of time! Books have undergone a sea change in the last decade or so in their appearance and in the formats in which they are available. From good old paperbacks, books are now available online, to be read on your computers or other hand-held devices. Or if you are too bored to read a book, you can get free audio books which read the books for you, literally!

Free trails

There are many ways to get free talking books. Many book stores offer free agreements wherein you can try audio books for free and return them if you do not like what you listen. Although not all audio books are offered in this trial, you might just get lucky and get the audio book you were looking for a free trial. Then, if you happen to like the book, you can go ahead and purchase your favorite audiobook on cd.

Search engines

One of the easiest ways to find free audio books is the search engines. Just go to any of the popular search engines and type the name of the audio book you are looking for, coupled with words like “free audio book.” If a free copy of your audio book is available, then the search engine will return the results and you can download your free copy from the search results.

File sharing services

There are various file sharing services that offer you free audio books. But these file sharing programs allow you to download files from other computers and you should be careful about downloading. Many of such files often contain viruses and many other times, these audio files are illegal copies. If you download illegal copies knowingly or unknowingly, that can land you in trouble.

Free audio book websites

Then, there are various websites which provide you with some exclusive collection of free audio books. Websites like Librivox.org offers you an impressive collection of great works which are free to download and distribute. The audio book collection here includes classics such as Alice in Wonderland, The adventures of Tom Sawyer, Pride and Prejudice etc. Other sources such as iTunes.com and Audible.com too offer some free audio books although they are mostly paid services. There are plenty of sources in the internet where you can get free audio books. Keep your ears open and ‘listen’.
