Bienvenus aux francophones! There is a Librivox article in Les Echos, French sister publication to the Financial Times. Written by Laetitia Mailhes. Nice closing para:

Que les curieux aillent donc écouter le premier chapitre du ” Tour du monde en 80 jours “de Jules Verne. Le plaisir simple de se laisser conter une histoire par une voix inconnue à l’intonation claire et à la diction irréprochable est irrésistible.

We’ve been selected as one of the top 100 undiscovered web sites by PC Mag!

Audiobooks are ridiculously expensive: The latest “Harry Potter” title lists at $80 on CD. Librivox, however, provides pod fodder for free. The site features a collection of public-domain books read by volunteers—and anyone can volunteer. The audio quality is good (MP3s at 64 or 128 Kbps, as well as OGG Vorbis files). Some narrators are better than others—some may have listened to a little too much NPR—but almost everything is at least decent, and some performances are quite good. The collection (a bit more than 800 Project Gutenberg works so far) is a bit of a hodgepodge, with everything from Walt Whitman to Edgar Rice Burroughs. You’ll have to wait about a hundred years for The Deathly Hallows, though.

I wonder if we can crack the list of top 100 discovered web sites next year?
