    I listen to a lot of audiobooks and it helps pass the time. The expense of them were killing me. Even with audible it was pricey. One free book a month then I'm back to buying.

    I found a better way, however you must have a library card. There's an app called overdrive media console. iPhone and android. Download that. Find your library in the setup and enter the library card number. You can download ebooks and audiobooks for free. Old and new. They do have a return date, just like the library. Most libraries have 2 copies per book, so if they are both out you have to put it on hold.

    Again in this is completely free and legal. Right now I am listening to game of thrones book 5.

    Project Gutenberg is good, as well, if you like more classic books.

    The intellectual property. It just falls off the device when it's time to be returned.

    There is a time stamp and it won't be able to be played after that date.

    I don't know if you have ever listened to the Bible, but it is a really good book. I don't want to spoil it for you but it turns out at the end, he really isn't dead.

    Aimersoft DRM will remove the time restraints. I download a few at a time, and depending on my loads, pilot cars, etc, it can take weeks to hear them out.
    I just put them onto my MP3 player which is plugged into the head unit.
