LibriVox

I think this is the most exciting and worthwhile site that I have explored to date.  The possibilities of using this technology to enrich so many lives is enormous.  Libraries have audio books which they exchange with other libraries but there would be a limited number and subjects/topics they can access.  For sight impaired persons, for those with reading disabilities, for health impairments such as aphasia and persons confined to home or nursing homes/hospitals access to so much public domain would open up a whole new world.  A delivery mechanism which would facilitate personal access to the material whenever desired through a pair of earphones would add to the quality of many lives. Such access is available  already to  those with a computer, ipod and appropriate software but these are often  beyond the access of those who could gain so much from their availability.  I listened to several readers and although the quality of delivery varied,  the readers enthusiasm for their material negated this.
