Audio books at New York Public Library

The NYPL this week is launching “a digital audio book collection allowing cardholders to download audiobooks from the Internet, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. On the subway or in the sun, users can listen to a wide range of fiction and nonfiction books on portable devices, CD players, or via their PCs and laptops. Listeners of all ages can choose from a selection of 700 titles in fiction, narrative nonfiction, business, biography, self-help, and language instruction.” More from press release and LISNews. Alas, there are compatibility issues with iPods.
