Week 9 # 22

LibriVox and Wowio both have a more commercial look and offer patrons some features the library ebooks or downloadable books do not. Wowio offers suggestions for similar books "if you like this book, you will also like..." which would be a nice feature. Librivox has community podcast about various titles. It appeared that books could actually be downloaded from these websites, whereas the library ebooks can't be downloaded nor can parts of them be copied and pasted. The books on these two websites are books that are in the publc domain so there are not copyright issues as there would be with books in Netlibrary etc. The books in Librivox appear to be recorded by volunteers instead of professional reader. The quality of the book reader may vary due to this. I couldn't find any Sue Grafton books listed on Librivox but we have the entire series A - S available in Overdrive. And yes, I would like to go back and listen to the older Sue Grafton books.
