The Lifelong Learner         by Stanley Kubasek | About Me |

I commute to work everyday (around 40mins each way now; used to be around an hour). I love to read. Put these two together and you get? Books on tape. That's right, I've been an Audible subscriber for over a year now. No longer. I found something better. For free. ??? NetLibrary, available for Bergen County, NJ residents (it might be available in other counties, I think).

What is NetLibrary? Free books. Over thousand of them. And they have some excellent books. I downloaded my first one yesterday, Authentic Leadership, opened it in Windows Media Player and transferred it to my portable device (the one I got from Audible for free). Boom. It works. This is just great.

I used to like Audible. It looks like a decent deal for $22 every month. But I am forced to pick a book every month. Plus, I don't really want to pay (if I can avoid it). Audible, goodbye. Just by browsing NetLibrary yesterday and today, I've already put over fifteen books to my to-listen list (available on the site). Really, the amount of great (I mean five-star books on Amazon) books available is incredible. 1776, plenty of books on leadership, autobiogrophies, and much more. This is just awesome.

If you live in Bergen County, go to NetLibrary.com, create an account (you need a library card), and enjoy Free Audio books.
