Public Domain Audiobooks

From time to time, I'll post various titles and collections of free public domain audiobooks. The OP will feature several of these at any given time, but all titles featured will be archived in this post for those interested in acquiring them at a later date.

WARNING -- public domain laws vary from country to country and it's up to the person wishing to download these titles to be sure that it's legal for them to do so.

Available to non-members (like me) as well. I was able to get them all (except the last one, which at 3 minutes I didn't want).

I was just looking over the opening post to this thread (thanks, TM) and there are a couple of audiobooks from old posts you might want to add from BooksOnBoard.com.

Unlocked by Karen Kingsbury

Map of Bones by James Rollins

I agree, friendly enough - but still some teething problems to work through.

Yes, but at least they are trying to help. I even got the free book last week with the help of customer support.

By the way, they now have a deal of the week. This week it's books by Andrea Camilleri for 7.99 $ each:

I've added a new category -- Appstore Audiobooks -- for appstores like Amazon, Apple, and Google.

First up is from Amazon. Today's free app of the day is Wubbzy's Train Adventure

Details can be found in this thread

This offer is valid today only - Tue 19 Feb

Downpour is having a credit sale today only. You can buy up to 6 credits for $11.25 each (instead of $14.99 ea)...

Credits apply to downloads only. Limit 6 credits at discounted rate. Credit discount expires February 21, 2013.

The credit thing might be members only, not sure.

I did the membership to get two books for $10, but I'm not sure it I'm going to keep it since I'm already an Audible member and they have a bigger selection and are cheaper.

Thanks; and membership is required.


Also on Downpour is a new Deal of the Week

• $9.95 - One Man Great Enough -- exp 27 Feb

Lincoln is the central axis of this story about America’s seemingly unstoppable march toward war, the shattering of its political landscape, and its grappling with the moral underpinnings of a republic of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Here are such key events as the Mexican-American War, the Dred Scott Case, westward expansion, the rise of the industrial north, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and the birth of the Republican Party. And here we meet Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Zachary Taylor, Stephen Douglas, and abolitionists Wendell Phillips, John Brown, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. We see it all through the breathtaking writings of Lincoln himself, detailing his emergence onto the political scene and the evolution of his beliefs about the Union, democracy, slavery, and civil war.

Last week's Deal of the Week on Downpour expires today:

• $7.99 - Inspector Montalbano Series -- exp 20 Feb
