The Gutenberg project has made electronic versions of public-domain books available for quite a while. This site is doing the same thing for audio versions of public-domain books... for cheap!
The telltaleweekly.org site is designed to provide, at a very low cost, audio versions of many public domain texts.
Their catalog includes works from Ambrose Bierce, Arthur Conan Doyle, Ben Franklin, Edgar Allan Poe, William Shakespeare, and H.G. Wells. The reading is done by professional voice actors.
Books can be downloaded for free in some cases, and for prices that max out at about $8.00. That's quite reasonable compared to mainstream titles you might pick up at your local bookstore.
Books can be downloaded in DRM-free MP3, AAC, and Ogg Vorbis formats.
The site's goal is to provide a free library of audiobooks comparable to the Gutenberg Project's library of printed works.
