[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 798976, member: 24160"] For free books check this [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/ipod-hardware-accessories/68411-moving-mp3s-your-audiobooks-folder.html"]thread[/URL] - scroll on down to post # 4. e-music is ok, if you like abridged versions instead of unabridged. Seems that's most of what they carry. As an example: one of the best of 2008 on most lists: The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo is 7 1/2 hours e-music abridged version or 16+ hours unabridged. The abridged versions are, of course, cheaper. iTunes is too expensive for books. The best place I've found for unabridged versions and current books is [URL="http://www.audible.com/"]Audible.com[/URL]. As a non-member their price usually beats iTunes by 10-20%, though not always. I am a member in their 2 books per month plan and pay a flat rate $9.56 for books that range from $25 - $50 at iTunes. Many of their books are provided in both abridged and unabridged versions. Audible also plays well with iTunes, iPods and iPhones. As a lover of audio books, it is some of the best money I've spent over the last couple of years. Just an example using the previously noted book - iTunes abridged 17.95, unabridged 29.95; Audible member price is $24.50 or as part of one of one of their member plans, could be as low as $9.56 or up to $12.46.
