there are lots of free audiobooks available at librivox.org . It has quite a few books that are in the public domain (a great way to catch up on the classics)(volunteers record their readings). If you want current books you can try audible.com (among a number of other companies). I think for around 15 dollars a month (8 dollars the first 3 months) you get a book a month (which is fairly cheap for a book these days). Of course you can always buy more than one a month for a slightly higher price.

I have been listening to lots of podcasts in the lab – the BBC has some neat documentaries that are great for keeping the mind busy during menial tasks like working the cryostat or microscope – but not sure about where to find (buy?) audiobooks. Any suggestions?

How do you find audiobooks anyway? On the internet?
