Where to buy audiobooks for download online?

[yoda313]

So I happened to be browsing this afternoon and remembered you could buy audiobooks from itunes. However they didn't have quite everything I was looking for. Then I did a search and found audible.com. It has great star trek selections but it doesn't have much in the way of Star Wars books.

Is there a scifi download store for audiobooks out there? Can it let you burn to cd? I was suprised that my iriver t30 was on the compatible list for audible.com. Though I plan on burning a cd more often if I do this. I have bought audiobooks on cd and cassette but I'm interested in trying it online.

Does anyone have good experience with itunes audiobooks?? Can you burn to cd with them???

not a huge sci fi site but very good site none the less.. and its free for standard/low quality if you want high then you pay.. good idea i think to get an idea of the book b4 you throw money at it.

Not strictly sci-fi - think Project Guttenburg, but with audio books.

BUMP

I signed up for www.audible.com. Not too bad of a service.

I used my instant credit (1 free download with signup) to buy the Star Trek audiobook FEDERATION - read by the late MARK LEONARD (Aka SAREK).

The quality is really good. I choose level 4 the highest quality. I just finished burning it to 3 cds. Pretty easy. The sound is really good. I recommend audible to those who want to get commercial audio books at good quality and are burnable. Also you can transfer them to mp3 players but I believe they are only for the "PLAYFORSURE" compatible players - the ones that can play DRM files.
