# 22 Audio books

I hadn't realized there are so many audio books available on the internet. The price for a year's subscription to WorldeBookFair isn't that costly either so it would be worthwhile for people who use audio books a lot.
There were quite a few free ebooks available in the Gutenberg audio ebook collection. I downloaded the Little Match Girl and found it enjoyable listening. I randomly chose something else to download and picked the "mowersong" but didn't like it particularly much as the person reading the poem was doing so in a very monotone and annoying voice.
The free ebooks could be quite useful in libraries as I imagine you could download them onto a PC and then let customers listen to them at leisure.
