Hi, I have a lot of trouble readings over a length of time. I fall asleep, lose concentration extremely quickly and can not maintain reading for very long. I have discovered an app called audible, it basically is a audio book. This seems appealing to me, but the prices are quite high.

So, does anyone know a method to get the books for free? Thanks.

Hi, I use it a lot. I listen to books on my commute. I think it's great, despite the DRM.

If you have a subscription then the price per book comes down a lot. I'm paying $15 / month which just about halves the book prices for the books I buy (I signed up before they had a British site).

They also have some free titles on there and occasionally they offer new free downloads.

There's always BitTorrent ...

I have never used bit torrent before. It's for my Nexus 7 tablet so I don't even know if that will be good.

If there are no free options, then I may sign up to a 3 month trial. It does seems a good app though, but the books are over 10 quid for the ones I want.

I've used the Android Bittorrent app on my phone which worked pretty well if you can avoid or afford the data charges. It might take some work finding what you want, and you have to be careful seeding torrents.

Neutral it is illegal to download copyrighted content and especially so to offer it for download Neutral

OK I have got the app now. It's been ages since I had a torrent software. Is torrentz.ue safe? I need to do a direct download since the torrent won't download for me.
