Whether traveling across town on business or taking a vacation road trip, you can make good use of your time with the growing selection of audio books. You can purchase or rent audio books, borrow them from the library as CDs or audio cassettes, or download them from the Internet as electronic MP3 files.
Some consumers subscribe to Audible.com or SimplyAudiobooks.com to select modern titles and bestsellers for a monthly fee. Others stick with books in the "public domain," meaning you can download them free of charge without violating copyright laws.
Here are some free audio book websites:
And don't forget your public library, where thousands of titles often are available to check out temporarily. By logging into your local library's website, you may be able to use your library card to checkout professionally recorded works. More information is available online or in person at some of these public libraries:
Spokane Public Library
Spokane County Library District
Coeur d'Alene Public Library
Post Falls Public Library
Kootenai-Shoshone Area Libraries
Liberty Lake Municipal Library
Pend Oreille County Library District
Audio books are a great alternative when the only time you have to "read" is during the time you spend in the car.
