Have PMP, will travel.
Going
on a long trip? Have an MP3 player? Traveling by yourself? Are you
anti-social? Do you like audio books? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of
these, then you need to check out Podiobooks.com.
Whats out there on Podiobooks.com?
Akin to audible.com,
Podiobooks.com offers many full books recorded to audio, many times
read by the authors themselves. Of course, if I’m talking about it on
CFJ, these books must be free…and, yes, they are! Now a lot of these
aren’t your mainstream titles, but there are definitely excellent audio
books out there. The obvious benefit to you is that you can become
exposed to some new authors if you don’t have a lot of time to devote
to reading (which a lot of us don’t!).
For example, I’ve been listening to ‘Ancestor’ by Scott Sigler. It is a great sci-fi/horror story with excellent characters and a fast-moving plot. Update: And how cool is it that Scott Sigler himself commented on this entry!?
I’m an author and I have a great story…
From
the other angle, if you are an aspiring author, this could be a great
way to get your stories out there, especially if you don’t have a lot
of capital. Podiobooks.com offers services that can help bring your writing a whole new dimension.
I love these authors, can I bribe them to write me into one of their books?
Podiobooks
offers links for donations to the authors for each book, so you can
directly support (25% goes to Podiobooks.com) your favorite authors.
Who knows, donate enough and you could find yourself in a book! 
Check out Podiobooks.com, I assure you that you will find something there you like!
