Tim,

I just go down my local library, that way they are free and a trip out on the bus gets me out and then a walk around town to get to the library.

With a walkman, I can start listening to the audio book on my way home.

Hi Tim,

You can try sites such as http://www.audioville.co.uk/
http://www.audiobooksdownload.com/ or http://www.audible.com

There are plenty of sites out there now offering legal downloads. Try Google for more!

You can get audio books from the RNIB. You get in touch with them through the visual impairment team of your local authority's social work department.

Otherwise, in addition to the above, give iTunes a go. They seem to do audio books as well as music cds
