If you like audiobooks and you are short on money (like me) you might want to take a look at this website

http://podiobooks.com/ AUDIOBOOKS FOR FREE. TOTALLY LEGAL. NO REGISTRATION. NO DRM. WITH THE AUTHORS PERMISSIONS.

Lots of high quality content that you normally have to pay good money for. Of course you can donate but usually most authors just ask that you write a small review on Itunes or amazon and generally just spread the word about their work. Most books are read by the authors themselves and are often produced on a professional level.
Currently podiobooks has over 700 (if i counted right) audiobooks to offer.

What i really like about this website is that theres NO Registration and NO DRM (just usual mp3 files). Just look for a book that you think might be interesting and download the files (for firefoxusers downthemall- addon comes in handy).
A big chunk of the selection is SciFI and Fantasy. If you want some recommendations just ask me. If you are familiar with podiobooks maybe give some recommandations of your own.

on a sidenote:
Also there are some really good Superhero- Novels to find there for example Playing for Keeps, Other peoples heroes, The Secret World chronicles, and How to succed in evil. All rated with above 90%

Well 99% is fiction on podiobooks so documentarys and actual science stuff are unlikely to be found on podiobooks. But i know another well recived podcast called hardcore hystory http://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/ the free content is more than a few hours so if you like history that might be worth a try.
Back to podiobooks. General i would say everything above 80% is worth a try also the more reviews the better.

The science fiction part of podiobooks is quite big and diverse (almost 200 titles).
For example a scifi- thriller that is well liked would be The 7 th son antology. http://podiobooks.com/contributor/jc-hutchins/ . Not spacetravel scifi more like technology that dosent exist today existing today.

In the horror/scifi category i recommend Scott Sigler. His stuff is usually really bloody. He was among the first who gave his audiobooks away for free and gained enough reputation to even get his books in the New York Times best sellers list.

If you want to get a feel for his work take the short story collections Bones are White and/or Blood is red.(smal sidenote kissyman and the gentleman is one of my alltime favourites)

If you want something less action orientated i heartily recommend Nathan Lowells Trader Tales.
http://podiobooks.com/series/a-traders-tale-from-the-golden-age-of-the-solar-clipper/ a six book multiple award wining anthology.
This is more is in the spacetravel category. I quote a bit from a review by K.G.H. Nicholes who sums Mrs Lowells style of writing very fittingly
"Nathan Lowell gives me permission to enjoy "ordinary living" - doing what needs to be done, and finding pleasure in doing it ".

No im not. Just a fan. I just like audiobooks and podcasts and have been around a lot of good free stuff. Podiobooks was just among the first sources i found. I can give recommandations for a lot of other good podcasts (mostly fictional stuff). Well its good free stuff so i thought i might promot it a bit considering that i dont donate so much. Admittedly i probably should have stuck to just one thread. The name of the thread is just such an eyecatcher that i had to try some other versions...... also admitedly i just realise that i just could have just changed it. Wasnt aware of that. So i close this one and just edit an old one and dont open any new ones
