According to this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Gutenberg
under Affiliates, it looks like we are now a "main partner". Is this new? At any rate, I'm impressed!

Affiliates
The Internet Archive, previous long-time backup distribution site, and previous main host site.
Librivox.org, new audioBooks main partner

Should anything about us be linked to in External Links?

Also, the page can be listened to, and it doesn't sound computer generated, so they obviously are using human readers. I will discuss this in a separate topic.

No it's not new.

Librivox.org
Librivox.org, a source of human audio eBook performances. This is Project Gutenberg’s main partner for new audio eBooks, and recommended for people who would like to volunteer to do readings. All Librivox recordings are granted to the public domain, which enables very widespread distribution. MP3 and other common audio formats are used, so that these may be listened to on computers, mobile devices, and recent CD/DVD players.
