Where can you get Audiobooks for free?







Get audiobooks for free from LibriVox.org, a worldwide digital library with more than 4,000 unabridged books in the public domain; classics, drama and poetry. They can be played on your computer, MP3 player, cellphone or burned to a CD and played on your car stereo. These books are read by volunteers and you can be one too. Free audiobooks are also available through literalsystems.org and audiobooksforfree.com.






When my mom was in her later years, she developed macular degeneration and was unable to enjoy one of her greatest pleasure, reading. Audiobooks were available through her local library and she loved them. If you know someone that has macular degeneration or has any problem seeing or reading, find out if they are interested in audiobooks. You could download the books for them to read or check with your local library. The smile on their face will be a wonderful reward!




Enjoy your reading! Leigh

Retuning Your High-Definition TV to Save Money



You can save up to $50 a year on your high-definition TV. Here's How!!

Many high-definition televisions are shipped from the manufacturers with a "retail mode" of screen brightness that displays optimum picture clarity in the showroom. Go to your television's setup menu and look for "home mode" or some other way to dial down the brightness. Another great way to save!
