Thing #22 Audiobooks

So www.netlibrary.org provides the open door to libraries of audiobooks! The reality differs! In my experience I had to sign up for another account to even look at the contents. Once there I found listings, even in Project Gutenberg (free of copyright), that were not free! I don't know how much I have logged up.
There was a useful demonstration but I didn't find it matched the interface. I learned that you would select your e-book, download it to your computer in CD or radio format, and then transfer it to a portable device like iPod or MP3 player. Therein lies my problem.
