      I was going to put "JV" in the title but he's popular enough already…

        Why does the thumbnail/ google image for Journey to the centre of the Earth say "Journey to the Interior of the Earth"?

        • +2

          Means they don't have the center/centre issue.

          That’s the politically correct version.

            @jv: In that case, InteriorLink delayed my payments again for not declaring my wages on time

    most if not all of these are already available for free on librivox.org, which is an awesome non-profit whose aim is to make all books in the public domain freely available as audiobooks. Some excellent volunteer readers are a part of it. The librivox android app is awesome in my opinion too - easy to search, read reviews, search for readers /authors you like, download to listen offline etc.

    Google books also has spend over five get five dollars credit free on purchase

    • Yep, I received it too,but not to sure which book to spend it on,tbh.

  • I guess none of these are narrated by the author?

    Mark Twain, with Tom speaking in the first person, read in a northern English accent is just wrong, y'all.

    • Mark Twain was unavailable.

        You sure? Rumours of his death may be exaggerated.

    • There ain’t nowt wrong with a Northern accent. I’m sure it’s not authentic, but it’s better nor the original.

  • Nice one mate, thanks for posting.

  • Are GooglePlay audio books similar to Audible? By that I mean they are DRMed and can only be listening to using a specific software program?

    I like owning DRMfree media which you can play on any device using any software. I guess that is too much to ask when it comes to Audiobooks.

    Quick question please, is there a trick I can use to download the free audiobooks without adding a card or paypal? Thanks.

  • This here also looks good. 5c for a book of fairytale that contains a whole bunch of the fairytale books that are currently 5c each.

  • There's a whole lot of discounted ones as well, here's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer for $0.05 - https://play.google.com/store/audiobooks/details/Mark_Twain_…

    Not sure if they'll be any good though. Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing is a company based out of Russia that aims to make money with republishing out of copyright works as cheaply as possible to game amazon and be the first results (because everyone buys the cheapest one). No idea if their audio work is any good but I doubt it. On the other hand you can get Tom Sawyer read by William Dufris which is probably really worth listening to.

  • A few more Lovecraft stories for free.

  • Thanks.

  • all seem to be $0.12 now
