AudioBooksforFree 
AudioBooksForFree.com, allows you to download novels as Mp3 files. As with music pulled from services such as Napster, users can listen to cyber books on devices ranging from portable Mp3 music players to mobile phones and personal computers.
There is a catch, however. Electronic bookworms who use the site will have to suffer advertising between chapters. The service operators promise advertising will not exceed 5 per cent of the length of the book. Children's stories have no advertising.
Categories on offer range from science fiction to spy thrillers and horror.
