This may have already been covered elsewhere, but any websites out there that have free and decent audio books that you can listen to online? I'm not wanting to download to any device but want to be able to listen to books while working.

Thanks Dravin. I've used that one but it's mainly the classics. I was hoping to find something more current. But I suppose to get current I will have to pay for it.

Or be willing to load to a device (or if work will allow it throw it onto a thumb drive), I don't know about your library but mine has audio-books.

For free downloads of LDS Doctrine Audio books.  Go to...  www.mrmormon.com

That's only the book you wrote.  And it sounds more like a podcast than a book from the parts I listened to.

Do you have a device that you could utilize but would rather not download content to it, or are you limited to a computer?  I use the Hooplah and Overdrive apps, both of which connect to the Salt Lake County library system.  I don't always find everything I'm searching for, but they have much more than just the classics, and I have found enough to keep me entertained.  You can stream them through the app or temporarily download to listen offline for the duration of the "check out" time period, and they are removed from your device as soon as they are due.

You be suprisedd with how many audiobooks are on youtube. Check it out. Also, check out booktv.org, they also have a YouTube channel. Each week they feature around 20 new books, where the author speaks for around an hour about their book. I have found they talk about the most important ideas from their book to get people to buy it. Anyway, the website is a treasure.

Pam, you can borrow current books from your local library and listen to those on your computer.  My library uses Overdrive.  I download audiobooks all the time, and I can listen to them on my computer, or my MP3 player.

I second LiterateParakeet's idea.  Overdrive has a great audiobook collection.  I use them quite a bit, though the hold lists can get crazy sometimes.  Just ask a librarian at your local library to show you how to access it from the online library.
