Please note that all audiobooks are read by humans, some audiobook sites offer books read by computers instead. Human read audiobooks are of a higher quality.</p><p>I bet you are asking yourself what you can expect from the audiobook section of Project Gutenberg. Lots of high quality audiobooks read by skilled natives. Let me name a few authors and books that caught my attention in first place: Hans Christian Andersen, Jane Austen, Balzac, Joseph Conrad, Descartes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Goethe, Kafka, Jack London, Nietzsche, Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker and Mark Twain.</p><p><span
id="more-1324"></span> Lots of famous classic novels that are worth the download if you ask me. The only drawback that I could find was that the files are encoded with a maximum of 32 Kbit which is not that of a problem for audiobooks and that they are split in different parts that have to be downloaded separately. I would say that there are currently more than 100 audiobooks available that can be downloaded free of charge.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2007/03/20/free-audiobooks-from-the-gutenberg-project/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
