Enjoy Free Audio Books

Let me get something straight right now. This blog is not only about how to use public domain materials to make money. It's not.

It's also about showing you where you can go to enjoy free entertainment.

Let's take audio books. I know there are subscription sites out there that allow you to enjoy listening to audio books for a monthly fee. That's great. You can also buy books for your Kindle or other reading devices at reasonable prices.

But you can also find free entertainment from the public domain. There are great classic books out there. The Picture of Dorian Gray or The Raven  or Alice in Wonderland.

What if you could listen to these books online at no cost?

Loyal Books and LibriVox allows you to do just that.

And guess what? This is also a terrific way to listen to a story you might want to use as inspiration for writing your own book using that general theme.

Maybe you can write a best selling remake of Alice in Wonderland. You can borrow from the story you listen to on these sites without any worries. If you watch it on TV or at the movies, it's rewritten and likely is not in the public domain.

See the difference?
