        Site of the Day for Friday, January 1, 2010

        Happy New Year to All!

        Podiobooks

For everyone with a new Mp3 player, a keen desire to add lots of goodies to it, 
but
with empty pockets, along with everyone who enjoys free entertainment, today's 
site
may be a welcome start to the new year. Gentle Subscribers will discover an
interesting collection of titles transformed into royalty free audiobooks.

"The term podiobook was coined by Evo Terra to describe serialized audiobooks 
which
are distributed via RSS, much like a podcast. Listeners to Podiobooks.com can
choose to receive the episodes of their books via an RSS feed or by listening to
episodes by directly downloading episodes from this site. Some listeners keep 
the
audio files on their computers, some transfer the book to CD, but most transfer 
the
file on to their MP3 player so they can listen no matter where they are." - from
the website

Visitors perplexed at where to begin can check out the What's Hot section, which
lists the top overall ratings of the site's titles, the most popular audiobooks 
by
the number of subscriptions in the past thirty days and the day's most popular
books. An alternative exploration of the site's more than 350 titles is through 
the
browsable categories available from the Browse Our Titles drop down menu on the
home page. The subtle differences between titles designated Family Friendly and 
For
Kids, the simple procedure of how to subscribe to a podcast title and how to
download files without even subscribing, for those who prefer to go that route, 
are
explained in the informative Frequently Asked Questions section.

Mosey over to the site to check out this royalty free, entirely legal 
collection of
audiobooks at:
