LibriVox – free audiobooks in the public domain

The subhead under the LibriVox title is “acoustical liberation of books in the public domain”.

According to their site: LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain, and then we release the audio files back onto the net for free. All our audio is in the public domain, so you may use it for whatever purpose you wish.

Their catalog says that they have 3,136 books currently available. Go take a look.
