Free Audio Book Collections

The collections below are free, and text ebooks are also available.

Gutenberg: The Audio Books Project
"Project Gutenberg makes audio eBooks available for some of the same great literature available in plain text. Our listings are divided into two categories: Human-read and computer-generated audio books. These files can be very large, so are not well suited for people using a modem or other low-speed connection."

Americana Phonic
Provides MP3 narrations of some books. This site is an independent project created and maintained by Michael Scherer.

LibriVox
Free audio versions of public domain works. Volunteers make the recordings. The audio files can be downloaded or listened to via streaming audio.

LoudLit.org
Delivers public domain literature paired with high quality audio performances.

Literal Systems
Provides audio books of great works of literature.
