I’ve been using the Nokia Audiobook Application which I found on http://www.nokia.com/betalabs/applications to listen to lots of Audiobooks from http://librivox.org/ on my Nokia E61i.
http://librivox.org/ has a gigantic collection of Audiobooks read out by Volunteers from all across the globe, and is providing the Audiobooks free of cost.
Though I like to listen to books being read out to me, but what I like even more is to listen to a book with sounds and drama. It’s a lot like watching a movie, but without any pictures. Your mind creates the pictures. These dramatized Audiobooks are not read out word-to-word as http://librivox.org/ Audiobooks, but the dramatized Audiobooks have people acting out the story with a proper script and add character to the voice.
I have downloaded the Radio Dramatized version of Agatha Christie’s book “Appointment With Death” and converted it to Nokia’s Audiobook Format using the Nokia Audiobook Manager.
Background: Agatha Christie - Appointment With Death
“Among the towering red cliffs and the ancient ruins of Petra sits the corpse of Mrs. Boynton, the cruel and tyrannizing matriarch of the Boynton family. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her. With only twenty-four hours to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalls a remark he overheard back in Jerusalem: “You do see, don’t you, that she’s got to be killed?” Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he had ever met.“
This Audiobook has been converted specially for use with Nokia Audiobook Application. The duration time of this Audiobook is 1 hour and 28 Minutes.
