We return today to the other, limited, sites dedicated to audiobooks out on the web.
Actually screw it, we do that tomorrow.
Today lets do a bit of considering.
If this blog is going to cover matters not strictly limited to my specific collection of 30 or so audiobooks I guess we are gonna have to clarify matters a little.
There's a lot of spoken word content out there on the net and it ain't really sensible to compare some of them...
Just an opinion friends but lets do this by site type giving a couple of examples of each (though I'm afraid I've picked UK sites when they aren't international)
Category One: Hardcopy
Isis or BBC Audio (cunning disguise that one)
Category Two: Download
Audible or Simply
Category Three: Copyright-free classics
Notably Librivox but also, as aforementioned Project Gutenberg
Category Four: Modern freebies
I expect there are others but Podiobooks initiated this ramble. This site permits authors the opportunity to extend their audience by doing an audio version of their work.
Category Five: Radio on the net:
Radio Four and BBC 7 spring immediately to mind.
No doubt more to follow.
