No, just audio books and some dramitisations. You pay L9 something a month
and for that you get one free book download per month and one free
subscription to one of their periodicals. Any other downloads you pay for
and prices range from L4 upwards. Great thing is that for signing up for a
year you get a free Shuffle.
