Week Nine - Thing #22

Tonight I explored ebooks and Audio ebooks. I downloaded a reading of Elizabeth Barret Browning's 23 Sonnet from the Gutenburg project. It was read by a volunteer who did a good but not professional job of reading. The obvious uses of these free ebooks are mentioned in the notes: ESL and Special Education students would benefit from using these books.
I noticed that users are cautioned to check copyright status before downloading. Because this sonnet was listed as being read in English, I assume other works might be in other languages. Category and release dates are also noted.
This is a subject I will tuck away and explore later.
