Audiobooks is, as the title states, an audiobook player from the Librivox foundation. With this app, you can listen to free audiobooks on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

When you first open the app, you will be able to discover new books or play those that you already have downloaded. Under the "Discover" section is where you can browse books by Popularity, Authors, Titles, or have the app select a random audiobook for you. Tapping on any of these will present a list of books or authors for you to choose from. Once you have decided on a book you would like to listen to, tapping on the "play" button will begin the download of the first chapter. After a chapter has finished downloading, the app will continue to download the rest of the book, while giving you the option to listen to the downloaded chapters.

The interface that is presented while playing a book is simple. It has a pause, rewind, and fast forward button under the progress bar. To the left of the progress bar is where you can view how much of a chapter has been downloaded, though it will not tell you which one it is downloading.

When you return to the app after starting an audiobook, a button on the bottom of the main screen will ask if you would like to resume where you left off.

Being that Librivox only creates audiobooks for novels under the public domain, you will not find current popular titles such as Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" or J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter"; instead you will find classical novels such as Bram Stoker's "Dracula" or Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". The interface could definitely be improved upon, but that is only a minor gripe. The voice actors are volunteers, and the quality could range from poor to excellent, depending on the speaker. One oddity that I noticed is that while playing the first chapter of "Dracula," at one point the audio stuttered and looped for a good 10 seconds or so. This hasn't happened again, and going back to the same chapter did not reproduce the same results. I assume it to be the fact that I was downloading the next chapter at the same time, and that the stutter was only a bug. This app is free, and I wholly recommend that you try this app today. With thousands of titles, you might find that the classics are just as good, if not better, than most books today.
