I came across this site after my son gave me an MP3 player and I wanted to listen to audio books.

I downloaded Pride and Prejudice...Great work Annie.

I am now hooked!

Hi Royette! Lovely to have you.

Since you clearly enjoy listening, may I point you to the Listeners Wanted forum? We proof-listen to recordings to make sure there aren't any long pauses, accidental repeats, etc., before releasing them to the public, and we can always use some help!

Enjoy yourself!
