Thing 22: Learn About Audiobooks

Since doing the e-book training and actually looking into it on my own even before that, I am quite familiar with Overdrive and how to download ebooks.  Getting an audiobook from Overdrive onto my iPod was a little trickier, but I have done it, and am looking forward to using this alternative to books on cd since my car cd player is cranky at best!  Project Gutenberg is something I've know about forever it seems, but I did not realize that they offered audio books as well as print.  I am intrigued by the possibility of becoming a volunteer reader through their partnership with Librivox, and plan to look into that further.  The World eBook Fair was a little more confusing, and after examining their site I'm still not quite sure whether I understand what they are offering:  are their titles all public domain ones or are they offering  a very inexpensive way to access more recent titles?  Charging a yearly fee, rather than a per-book cost is an attractive idea, but its attractiveness would depend a lot on a person's interests and how well their selection could meet them.
