Frequently Asked Questions
What is the quality of the free audiobooks?
The free downloads on site are either 16kbps, 32kbps or 64kbps. Bandwidth constraints mean we have to balance the amount of audiobooks on site with their sound quality - the higher the quality (the kbps) - the fewer free audio books we can make available.
Samples of free audiobook quality in kbps:
Are the readers humans or computers?
Our audio books are read by humans, all with a passion and love for literature.
Where are the readers from?
They are mostly, although not exclusively, from the UK and North America.
You mention the books are unabridged, what does that actually mean?
You will be listening to the full book as written by the author. There will be no parts of the story removed.
Where do the free audio books come from?
Many of our free audio books are available freely in the public domain and some are in-house productions of out of copyright novels.
We have enhanced the quality, removed adverts and markedly improved the listening experience.
The drudgery of finding, downloading and storing the audio books has been replaced with the simple purchase of a dvd that can hold hundreds of hours of mp3 audio books and is ready to be listened to at your leisure.
