Silksoundbooks is another MP3 book download site, and everything there goes for £7.95. the catch, at the moment, is its all 'classic' older fiction, but they do tell me they're going to be doing stuff that's still in copyright in the future. You download in standard zip file format and unzipping gives you a folder with the various chapters in separate files. the recordings are very proffessional with big name actors and audio quality leaving nothing to be desired. They do it for the love of it and, probably, at these prices, not a great deal of payment. there's no copy protection or DRM but I believe the files are watermarked and they lead you to believe they might be on to you if they see pirated copies around, especially for sale. Interesting. Take a look at: www.silksoundbooks..co.uk The site did have a prblem where the audio introby Bill Nighy couldn't be turned off, a bugger for those using one soundcard, but that's not my problem. Have mentioned it to the site, but don't know if they've done anything about it.
