Legal - unlikely, it will all be DRM'd to death. Illegal - Google knows.

Local libraries normally have a good selection - there's also audio libraries that specialise

http://www.audiobooks.org/ ? This has a couple of freebies

I want it in mp3 format, so I can use it on my ipod, or only have one cd as opposed to 12 for a book. I don't have the inclination to convert 12 cd's to mp3s.

True, too much effort.

I am keen on these, looks like Audible is the 'only' good/legit premium choice at this stage at R216.14 per month? Any of you using other options?

Second this, Torrents have a decent selection of audiobooks, and get an audiobook player from the app store to listen to them

I used Scribd for a while. Decent selection. But doesn't have everything. All the books I didn't want to use a credit on at audible I listened to at Scribd.
