The Audiobooks app has rocketed to the coveted number one spot on Apple’s App Store free applications for the Books category, bringing a catalog of 1,800 free audiobooks to iPhone and iPod Touch users–unseating Amazon.com, Inc.’s Kindle for iPhone reader in the top spot.
Created by Cross Forward Consulting, the application features catalog browsing, book-marking functions, and is supported by ad space in the app. It was built using recordings from the LibriVox Project–a collection of volunteer-read audio books from the public domain.
Here’s more from the release: “Starting with the immense library of the Librivox Project and growing every day, this application gives you free access to over 9,800 hours worth of audiobooks.”
