And here’s a thank you note from a listener Justin in Kentucky:
I just read about LibriVox on Wired.com and I have just got to say “Thank you!” I wish I had found it much sooner. The thank you is from myself and from my grandmother. Nearly 12 years ago she went blind. She was about 65 when that happened and doesn’t have the ability to learn braile. She/I/our group (National Federation of the Blind: Murray, KY Chapter) have been searching for better ways to get audio books and tapes at a less expensive prices for our members (we range from about 25-50 from year to year). There is barely enough budget to supply a Thanksgiving and Christmas party each year. Our local library supplies a few titles but they are few and far between and the CDs and tapes seem to be abused and broken by those who check them out so they rarely work properly. There are also “radio stations” at an extremely high subsciption rate. With your site, I can direct our chapter, and hopefully more, to free, quality content. You are a blessing to my grandmother and all who can benefit from your work. Thanks again!
It’s so nice to know that we really are making a difference!
Way cool!
w.o.w.
that’s wonderful.
Hi all,
After a year of considering to buy a Ipod, I finally bought one. My vision is decreasing and that was the final reason to get one. I am fond of audiobooks, and I am enjoying listening to it.
I recently stumbled upon your site, and downloaded the Christmas Caroll by Charles Dickens. I listened to it yesterday evening in my warm bed, while snow was falling. I wanted to thank the people who read the book for me ;)
My English is improving a lot while listening to English books.
Again thank you very much for putting up this site :)
You can count me definetly being a big fan !
Happy reading in 2006!
