Here's one:

Librivox

These books are read by human volunteers, so closer to the Audible/Overdrive experience. There are also sites with computer-read books.
Thanks for that (and everyone else to responded to me). I have downloaded a couple of classics I want to read from librivox onto my ipod (yes they have an itunes library), so I will give them a go. My local library only has about 30 audio books, none of which tickled my fancy (that and I reckon I am one of the few without a library card).

We'll give it a go.

Quick question of audible, you pay a subscription and get a number of 'tokens' to download books with. If you stop subscribing do you still have access to your audio books? Or are they only valid whilst you have a subscription?
