If you do ebooks, how do you find them? You can search pdf at Book Search Queen. The cool thing about this site is that you can search for a book by the text of it if you can't remember the title. You can preview each book before you download it, and they have a huge base of ebooks that they use.
I have never even attempted to listen to an ebook, so I don't know what to expect. Is it just one person reading in a flat tone, or do they put the emotion of the book in their voice? Do you have a favorite ebook that you have listened to? If so, recommend it to me. I don't want my first experience to turn me off to ebooks, because I love, love, love to read.

I love listening to audio books. I go to the library and usually take out around five at a time. I do that because if you don't like the voice no matter how good a book is, you're not going to like it. Sometimes Jodi Picoult will have a different reader for her characters in the book. I belong to goodreads and if you go to my personal blog, you will see it on the sidebar. I will usually write on there whether or not I liked the reader. I tried to listen to a book one time about Niagra Falls and it sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher. They're not all like that. You just have to listen to it and if you don't like the reader, move onto another book. There are so many out there to not be wasting your time. I've listen to "Heart Shaped Box" by Joe Hill and it was really good. It's a ghost story. Also, "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. Bryson isn't the one reading it but it was really good with the reader who was. I personally don't like Bill Bryson reading his own work. It's about a couple of guys hiking on the Mid State Trail. I really like listening to mystery or stuff like Stephen King on audio, but I don't like reading the books in this genre. Not sure why.
I'm not crazy about audio books or eBooks. I like to be able to hold the book in my hands and relax in a nice chair.
