AUDIO NOT FREE
These audiobooks are not free anywhere (that we know of at least). Yes you can find similar titles free on sites like LIbrivox, but Librivox recordings for example are done by volunteers. Ours are recorded in a studio by professional actors (not celebrities) in high quality sound. Most have British accents while a few are American. Not to knockLIbrivox; it’s a great resource for sure, but there is a considerable difference
On the eBook model while you can find these free online at sites such as Free-eBooks.net pointed above, please note that from there you can only access 5 books a month for free. In the PDF format alone. If you want Unlimited Downloads you have to upgrade to a VIP membership. So here you’re getting 1,000 Books right away. Also most books including the latest bestsellers can be obtained free if you try hard enough: local library, family/friends, free trial memberships to subscription sites :), etc
A big part of the value here is the convenience. Just taking the time to find and get a fraction of these collections is considerable. People appreciate just have a large collection right there.
As far as the quality of books; well everyone tastes vary, but these were the highest rated books out of tens of thousands as rated by over 6 million readers. 95% of the books I read are from these collections, but hey I’m a self-admitting popcorn movie type of guy so as mentioned tastes vary If you only tend to read what the NYT or Oprah recommends this might not be your bag, but a lot of great authors have humble beginnings (usually until someone discovers them). But like I said these are readers-favorites so you might be surprised.

LENGTH
The AudioBooks are unabriged and vary in length. There are many short stories as well as longer epics. In all there is roughly 2,000hours worth of listening. So at say 1 hours a day it should last close to 6 years.
SHARING
lastly we encourage sharing these are not protected or restricted in any way. By all means, feel free share with friends and family. The more the merrier.
As mentioned I’ll be keeping an eye on these forums so if you have any quesitons please drop me a line and I’ll be happy to help! Thanks everyone,
Nic
