Free Audio Books [BEST]

The Minnesota Braille and Talking Book Library's (MBTBL) audiobook or talking book collection is our largest and most popular. Most titles are produced or obtained by the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS). Additional titles are provided by NLS network libraries throughout the country. MBTBL's studio produces talking books using volunteer narrators and text-to-speech. The studio also marks-up commercially produced titles acquired by the NLS.

Registered users can acquire talking books on a USB cartridge via U.S. mail, or they can download titles themselves via NLS's Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD).

To discover recently added talking book titles, the NLS publishes Talking Book Topics (TBT) bimonthly. TBT is available in audio, HTML, PDF, and Braille (BRF files). The audio versions can also be mailed on cartridge or downloaded from BARD.

I often had the situation that I listened to a podcast episode or an audio book and there was something I wanted to remember or capture for later processing. It can be a reference to an interesting other knowledge source, a principle that I want to remember or something I want to share with a colleague or a friend.

But how to take a note and easily find the relevant information again in the audio source? Ok, some podcasts have transcripts, that could help to find the relevant information. Others have good show notes. But all of this might only be the second-best option and will not work e.g. with audio books.

Quite similar as with Podcasts, you can easily create 30 second clips from your audio books within the Audible app. Simply tap the clip button in the player view and add a note if you like. The main disadvantage that I can see, is that you cannot export the notes and clips.

If you are blind, have low vision, or have a disability that makes it difficult to read regular print, you may be eligible for the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS). NLS has an extensive collection of audio and braille books that are instantly downloadable or can be mailed to patrons anywhere in the United States. For more information and to find out how to enroll, call 1-888-NLS-READ (1-888-657-7323) or visit www.loc.gov/thatallmayread.

OK, I don't use audiobooks much but today I bought one for the first time via iBooks and I am totally confused by how this works. I bought it on my iPad, assuming I'd be able to download it to my iPhone to listen to in the car. Later I opened iBooks on my phone and it wasn't there; I looked in the store but it didn't show as purchased, just as something I could buy again. Weird. So then I went to my Mac, and it also is not in iBooks there. In fact, you can't buy iBooks in the iBooks store from the Mac, from what I can see, though you can go to the iBooks store in iTunes and find them. And there's a "my audiobooks" area in iTunes, but it's not there.

Reading some support articles it sounds like you cannot re-download audiobooks and there's no cloud backup? I assumed they'd work like everything else Apple sells (music, books, applications, etc.) and once you buy it, you've bought it. Is that right? If that's not the case I would have appreciated a warning that it wasn't going to work like every other thing piece of digital content they sell.

Audiobooks are a one-time only download, they will not show in the cloud. If you connect the iPad to your Mac and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases in your Mac's iTunes then it should copy over to the Audiobooks section of your library - you can then play it on your Mac and/or sync it to your phone (and add it to your backup of your downloads/library ; other items are only potentially redownloadable whilst they remain in the store and you don't move countries).

I had the same issue, bought my audiobook last night on my iPad but really want it on my iPhone to listen in the car. Went to download it on my iPhone just like I would music and wasn't listed as purchased grrrr frustrating. ?

Luckily found this post and am going to try to transfer it to my PC and see if I can sync my iPhone that way. Guess I will need to look at either Audible or Amazon for my audiobook purchases going forward. ?

Interesting that if you buy direct from Audible it seems you get a repeat download and a cross platform service. I'm somewhat surprised the limitations on Apple's audiobooks haven't gone the same way they did for music back in 2009, or that anyone buys from Apple. ?

Hi there. Ive set up google home for a visually impaired senior and its going well. One thing I'd like to see if possible is having google home read audio books specifically from DAISY (Digital Accessible Information System). She's got a lot of kindle books which we wont be able to easily transfer over to google books and she does have google play books but the benefit of the daisy books is that it is a free library format. The app is the Dolphin Easy Reader. Shes got an old ipad, a computer and is willing to get an android tablet if that helps anything at all

While I understand some readers preference for print, I think there are just as many, or almost as many, who prefer audiobooks. I like them because I can be productive with everyday tasks while enjoying a good book. And The Levee is a great, well-read, audiobook. The length is perfect.

i know you probably think i am lazy for just asking for what someone elses setting are instead or figuring it out my self but i have spent the last 3 days learning the software and renaming my massive music collection so far i am 60,000 files in to my 150,000 file music collection and at this point i just wanted to try to take the easy way out and ask for someone elses setting as i still have at lest 2,000 audio books to do next as well as the remaining 90,000 music files to fix. i guess i was hoping someone would take pity on me.

UW Libraries offers e-books on a variety of subjects. You can search for ebooks using QuickSearch and using the 'books, eBooks and Media drop-down function, or you can go directly to the e-book platform of your choice.

Our library has a few audiobooks (sound recordings) including mostly authors or actors reading literary works, however, the local public libraries have many more popular and contemporary books through streaming platforms (Libby, Overdrive, Hoopla, etc.) and on compact disk.

One other way to obtain audio books is to do a "word" search in the Maine Infonet catalog with the phrase "sound recording" and some other word(s) that describe your book interest: title, genre, author, etc.

Start reading, listening or watching instantly with e-books, audiobooks, e-magazines, and streaming movies. Most titles are available online with just an internet connection and a library card. An e-reader app is required for downloading to your personal device.

Find e-books and e-audiobooks in our catalog or by searching the collections of our two partners, OverDrive and Hoopla. (If you have a Kindle e-ink device like the Paperwhite, you must use OverDrive.)

We would like to be able to embed audio books into a course however restrict who has access to them. We need this so that students who have difficulty with reading are able to hear the audio book version while still participating in the main course with other students. Due to licensing restrictions we only want students who need the audio books to have access to them (not the whole class).

If you have the audiobook in mp3 format you can use the tag to embed the file directly from your Course Files folder by following these instructions: -re-how-to-embed-audio-into-canvas-using-the-audio-tag... ff782bc1db
