What Company Is Offering:
The termpodiobooks was coined by Evo Terra to describe serialized audio books which are made available in podcast format. Listeners to Podiobooks.com can choose to receive the episodes of their books via an RSS feed or by listening to episodes by directly downloading episodes from this site. Some listeners keep the audio files on their computers, some transfer the book to CD, but most transfer the file on to their mp3 player so they can listen no matter where they are.
Why are the books on Podiobooks.com free of charge?
Many authors do this to get exposure for their work, others do it in the hopes you'll buy their next work in development. Still others simply do it for the sheer joy of writing. And while it's not required, you have the option to donate money to the author of your choice. When you consider that audio books run usually 50% more than their hardcover counterparts... we hope you'll be generous. Authors receive 75% of all the proceeds from the donations from listeners. The smaller portion goes to the maintenance and upkeep of Podiobooks.com.
How It Works:
Click and listen - When you find a book you want to listen to... do it. Click on any of the episode links near the bottom of the page and the episode will either download or start playing on your computer.
Subscribe to a book, and they'll send you one episode at a time - Perfect for the busy person with an overloaded MP3 player. To do this, simply:
Register for an account. It's completely free, no obligation whatsoever.
Log in to the system.
Find a book that sounds like fun.
Click the "subscribe" link under the book cover on the book's page.
Visit the My Subscriptions page. Cut and paste the "Your Personal Feed" URL into the podcatcher of your choice.
It's as simple as that. And don't forget, you are in control of how often you get new chapters.
