Thing 18: Audiobooks

I have been a long time audiobook enthusiast. When Net Library became available in a neighboring county I hurried to get myself a card in order to start downloading. Now my own county offers OverDrive. I agree with Beth Farrell's article, "The Lowdown on Audio Downloads" that downloads have become simpler. From her I learned that audiobooks are expensive--not too surprising however I was surprised to learn that electronic formats are no cheaper that CDs.
 I listened to "Tyger" by William Blake on LibriVox. The sound quality was good, but the interface doesn't have the pizzazz that OverDrive does.
