Scriblįormerly known as Podiobooks, Scribl showcases some of the best, off-the-beaten-path audiobooks found on the internet, many of which are recent publications. You can browse by author, title, genre, collection, and reading level (grades K through 12).

The homepage search option is a nice touch, as is the black-and-white artwork accompanying each title and book collection. The site delivers most audiobooks as a single MP3 or as short, segmented passages of specific chapters. The throwback site, “a part of the Educational Technology Clearinghouse” and run by The Florida Center for Instructional Technology (University of South Florida), contains a comprehensive collection of downloadable short stories, books, and poems. Lit2Go offers one of the finer sources for free audiobooks. The site organizes audiobooks by genre (fiction and literature, nonfiction, and poetry) and alphabetically listed by the author’s last name. The site gathers content from around the web to present an admirable audiobook collection - primarily classics - you can stream or download. Open Culture is one of the better gateway websites for educational and cultural media.
