#22 ebrary audio books

Fantastic resource! I had a listen to The House of the Baskervilles which is quite good. There are not that many books here yet but the Gutenberg project is amazing and I hope that it continues. I notice there a lot more computer generated voiced books - I suppose this is much cheaper but it is quite unsettling. Human voice is better. A lot of the texts are English in origin and classics so it does have limited appeal. If Gutenbergians add some more contemporary material to the collection I think this would really have legs, so to speak
