Do you have audible.com? A question or two...

9. Also check out your local library

and possibly the library of your friends and family that are in a sharing mood.

Hoopla's interface is about as good as Audible (have to have a Smartphone though), and it has a great selection of books. There is no wait as the books are accessible immediately. Usually you have account limits (3 for my library and 12 for my mom's library) and there is a daily limit cumulative for all patrons.

Depending on your particular library, Overdrive can have a good selection as well. With Overdrive you will have to wait until a copy of the book becomes available. While you only have 14 days, once it is on your MP3 player it is there as long as you want it (actually just move the file on your computer and keep it there as long as want as well). Overdrive works a lot like Audible Manager (at least how I use it).
