Also, thanks to isis for posting "The first books for the SYNC free audiobooks for teens program have been made available! This is a program sponsored by AudioFile Magazine that makes two thematically-related audiobooks (typically a classic and a newer book) available each week during the summer for free download, no strings attached. This week's books are The Great War: Stories inspired by items from the First World War, a collection of short stories by a variety of authors; and A Study in Charlotte, which seems to be a modern Sherlock Holmes mystery, by Brittany Cavallaro."

Oh wow, thank you for this! I'm not thrilled that I need an app (SYNC uses Overdrive, but I need that for library books, and it saves the mp3 files on my computer so I can copy them to my mp3 player) but I can cope with that.

They say that I can gift the audiobooks to anyone today. I don't know if you'll need an app to listen to them, but I will try to give you one and we'll find out!

No, it looks like it just sent you a redemption code, so I'm going to assume you still have to go through their app to listen to the books. Still, free books!

Yep, alas. It's okay, I have a phone-armband I can use to listen to things while I run - it's just that I'd rather use my much lighter and more convenient mp3 player. But BOOKS! YAY!
