I&#8217;ve got a number that I&#8217;ve bought from various sources and with all the storage available on my IPod model, it&#8217;s easy to keep them handy for listening when I&#8217;ve got some time.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been waiting for someone to come up with a way to turn some of the public domain books that are out there on the Web into audio books. I figured it was just a matter of time and with sites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gutenberg.org\/\">Project Gutenberg<\/a> out there, there&#8217;s plenty of material.<\/p>\n<p>Well, someone has taken up that challenge. Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/librivox.org\/\">LibriVox<\/a> to see the result. They&#8217;re serving up public domain books that you can listen to on their site or download to portable player and enjoy wherever you are.<\/p>\n<p>This is a very interesting site that is built on the open source model, where like-minded people come together to create something useful. It looks like a great idea and one that you can participate in if you&#8217;re so inclined. They&#8217;re looking for volunteers to read chapters and contribute, so if you&#8217;ve always thought that those years of reading to your kids were wasted on them, try those pipes on a wider audience.
