Because I'm nothing if not predictable, the first search I did was by author for ... *drum roll* ... Jane Austen. I was very happy to see her big six novels, all unabridged, all able to be downloaded. I think I'll download "Mansfield Park", as it's been a while since I've read it.
I started browsing around under Nonfiction, and was feeling like the selection wasn't the greatest, when I found Bob Dylan's "Chronicles: Volume One" which has been on my to-read list for ages now. Exciting! I added it to my 'favorites'. Speaking of, I like being able to add titles to my favorites to save for later.
I still feel like the selection is on the narrow side, though. Am I just being too picky about free audiobooks? Probably! I found the children's fiction to be especially sparse. On the other hand, there were a fair amount of mystery/suspense titles.
I think patrons would like this site but I really foresee problems with them not knowing how to download, or not knowing how to listen to their selections after downloading, or not knowing how to load them onto their mp3 player, etc.
Okay, so after typing all of the above, I decided to look around the 'help' section. Lo and behold, these books aren't compatible with iPods or Zunes. Oh well, I suppose I won't be listening to "Mansfield Park" or "Chronicles" en route to work after all...
