Project Gutenberg partnered with Microsoft to make over 5000 new audiobooks.

They are freely available at

as well as popular podcast download sites. Read more about this effort, and see a video of Project Gutenberg CEO Greg Newby talking about it:

lensblot,

@gutenberg_org The accessibility of this is amazing! Podcasts and Spotify playlists, too, further decreasing barriers! Anything that makes reading easier for anyone who can’t access print books, especially without jumping through hoops, is awesome! I know some people are upset, but books read by voice actors are prohibitively expensive for people who are on a fixed income and/or who may not have the luxury of being able to see or even hold a book or tablet.
