New (to me) book sites

VillageReader · 03-07-2007, 04:09 PM

While meandering around the NYT today in the book section, I discovered two sites I wasn't previously familiar with.

lulu.com has books on demand and e-books. Any books that are in both print and digital format have no DRM. E-books only may or may not be protected, depending on the author.

podiobooks.com is a site that offers free audiobooks as podcasts. There seem to be a range of genres available. Authors apparently use this format to expand their audience.
