No. Last time I checked what they were selling was short stories at full audiobook prices. Jeff |

I don't. There is so much good stuff free on librivox that between that and catching up on In Our Time podcasts I don't really have time to listen to anything else. |

What is Black Library? Being Blind my sole existence resolves around spoken word. |

I don't listen to audio books, but I volunteered to read and record textbooks for the blind back when I was in college. |

I listen to 'em, but didn't buy. Borrowed from a friend. Some of them are absolutely amazing. I'm a big fan of Ravens Flight. |

Yes they aren't too bad. Don |

no. but i love the HH series. in fact, deliverance lost was due to be released on the 28th. i just called the closest barnes and nobel and asked if they had it yet. its there and waiting behind the counter for me! |

Yes and no. Yes because I got them free but no since I have to pay for them now. They weren't really audibooks but "audiodramas" I think is what they called them. The 45 short stories go for the cost of full blown audiobooks and that is ridiculous. The unabridged market which they are carefully dipping their toes in the water doing is nice but so way overpriced. IIRC, a couple of their audiobooks have been on the audiobook best seller list. Well done but ridiculously overpriced. |

I did not even realize they started to do full length audiobooks after being so turned off by their first go at overpriced short stories. Still far too expensive. I'll read these in paper and listen to cheaper books. Jeff |

I've been picking the Horus Heresy ones, in part because I'm something of a completist. I agree they are overpriced, but I've enjoyed them nonetheless. |

There is so much good stuff free on librivox Librivox.com ? Never 'eard of it, hence the question (and thanks for the lead). Horus Heresy…that series better start dumping the fluff filler crap and start getting to the final battle junque real soon or I'm going to say Adios! |

Librivox.org is the site you are looking for. The other one (the .com one) is not legit. |

Thanks Scoot…will go czech it out! |
