With free classic audio books, you can listen to some of the greatest literature ever written-for free!
Today's technology makes it possible for publishers to deliver classic audio books for free. When publishers do not have to pay for media like CDs or paper and bindings to publish their books, they save a fortune on publishing expenses, and they pass a portion of their savings on to their listeners.
Once a publisher uploads a copy of a free classic book to its web site, it costs the publisher next to nothing to make that book available to the public. The audio book listener merely downloads a series of mp3 files on to their own hardware or listening device.
Free audio books are available only by download. If you get these books on CD, you should expect to pay a fee for hardware, shipping, and handling. Audio books on CD provide listeners with a truer digital sound, which allows the audiobooks to leap to life.
