Listen To Inexpensive Audio Books On Your Pocket PC
http://telltaleweekly.com/
"Telltale Weekly seeks to record, produce, and sell performances of at least 50 public domain texts a year, with the intention of releasing them under the Creative Commons Attribution License five years or a hundred thousand sales after their first appearance here, whichever comes first.

Their library is rather limited but they just got started a few months ago and seem to be holding to the one book a week plan. If you want to listen to some ebooks on your Pocket PC and help out a project getting public domain books in audio format for an affordable price, you should check Telltale Weekly out.

This look good. I love audiobooks and I love the Creative Commons.

I gave it a try. Not bad. I don't usually listen to audio book on PPC. I tried Audible.com once and didn't actually get anything because of my low usage. I just want to find out from those who listen to audio books or magazine on their PPC, is this the normal size?

Unabridged Short Story

It depends on the book. The Hobbit at Audible is 6-7 hours long.

Thanks, Ed.
I am wondering about file size. Probably need another SD card just for all the audio books.
