Free Audio Books
I posted recently about a site where you can download and read some classic books for free. Of course ,unless you read on your computer or on some handheld device, you're likely to kill a tree if you want to print them out, so it is our hope you will be sparing. But here's another idea: why not LISTEN to your books. Now, I've also posted numerous times about the service over at Audible.com and how great it is. I've been a subscriber for a long time and get my monthly book and radio show with enthusiasm and glee. But here is a site where you can get some classic books for your ipod or other device for free. The book selection is solid, with some really excellent classics that you will be happy to add to your collection. These could make great listening while on the road or on a long flight.

Sounds cool, but "Some of our audio books are human narrated Librivox recordings and others are narrated using the latest generation text to speech voices." What in the world does that mean? Have they hired the Peanuts teacher?

iPod usage seems to be evolving (classic books is interesting), including audio tours for people who choose to escape the usual group tour and branch out on their own on their own time, iPod in hand.
A few suggestions of where to find iPod tours are listed here on an article I wrote on "Finding Solo Time on Group Trips":
