#22 Downloadable audio books

"Audiobooks" by Redwood City Public Library (from Flickr)
Seems like this may be the way of the future for lots of libraries. I had a look at both 'NetLibrary' and 'Overdrive' and this new technology seems like a good idea, allowing customers to access audiobooks to listen to on their MP3 players, PC'S, etc.

Also had a browse around the 'World EBook Fair' site-interesting lists of Top 100 titles, and Top 100 authors, etc. Some of the items I selected however were obviously part of the subscription service, as access was denied to me to proceed any further.

I still think the standard audiobook formats currently held by the library will still be pretty popular for some time to come though.
