Ray, the stock at Audiobooksforfree is very limited and much of it out of copyright. Audible.com really seems to be the only game in town. =20= Cheers now.

Sunil's second link appears to be a database, search facility of remaindered or stock clearance books, and Audible.com is amongst these. As such its quite useful. RAy. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Howie, Sam" <Sam.Howie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Ray I don't mind paying as long as it is a book I'm after. Sam -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ray's Home Sam. Depends largely on whether you are prepared to pay or not. Classic, out of copyright material, is donwloadable from Gutenburg or however its spelt. Audible is a source of current fiction which I think comes in apropriorty format and has to be paid for. At the moment we do not have an equivalent of Bookshare.org in the UK, but some technical titles are available from them for us to donwload.
