Thank you for the intro videos.
Is it ok to read from any book or is there a limited selection of books that can be read? How can I check this?

Oh there are lots and lots to choose from All of our recordings must be from published, public domain texts in the USA.
We use a lot of those on Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/ since they chech the status of most of them. Ask if anything is confusing.

Often, short stories are richer and more interesting to listen to than long ones. Wanting to share them with others is really cool! Good luck to you, CatsEye!

Hello,
Thanks for the reference. Is this the only site Librivox works with?

I wanted to upload from a book I just finished but unfortunately it is not on there.....

Hello,
as far as I understand, in such cases, we are most often talking about the right of the publisher or author to the work. philchenevert told you about this right in this topic, about which you better clarify with him directly in the PM (personal message), I think.
Don't lose your enthusiasm! You are on the right way! Good luck!
