Downloadable books

Does anyone know of a web site that offers low-cost or free audiobooks that can be downloaded to an mp3 player? I know there are probably some illegal (kazaa type) sites, but there also may be others that offer a limited selection at no cost.

I'd appreciate any recommendations!

Have you considered podcasts, Belindaloo?  Also have a look at: http://www.librivox.org/completed-books
and http://manybooks.net/  Sadly, ManyBooks doesn't allow you to find books by audio, but there are some there.

Cait! You're a dream!! I haven't even got to ManyBooks yet, but Librivox is already fantastic! Thank you!!

I like ManyBooks, but I read them on my PDA rather than listen to them.  I also use http://www.gutenberg.org/, but again, I believe they are mainly text rather than audio.  Also have a look on the Beeb's website for podcasts.  There may be things there that are of interest: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/downloadtrial/#programmes

Hope you find something you like.

Gutenberg does have ebooks: http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/categories/1  Never noticed that before!
