Exercise #22

Audiobooks & e-Books

If you feel like you don't have time to read and/or study--listen to your books! You can download audiobooks from various sources, including iTunes and audible.com. You can also download audiobooks from Project Gutenberg--for free. The catch is that the books will be older, since Project Gutenberg includes only books whose copyright has expired in the USA book listings. You can also download e-Books through Project Gutenberg and other fee-based sites like amazon.com.

For this discovery exercise, I hope that you will familiarize yourself with books in different formats--audiobooks and/or eBooks.

Discovery Resources:

Bookspot--Where can I download books from the web?
