I live in India and I find most of the websites are international. I want to pay in Rupees and don’t want to bother about exchange rates. Where can I find Indian websites which allow me to pay in INR? I want to download audio books like Harry Potter.

amazon.com

Is there anywhere I can get free online audio books with pictures for kids to follow along with?

My daughter is two and loves to read. (Baby can read works). I want to find a website where she can read along with audio books that have pictures.

It actually might be a little old for your children but it’s the only site I know that does this. Just click on the covor of the book to watch the video.

Does anyone know of an online site (that is not a torrent site) that I can listen to audio books for free? I want to listen to the Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince Books by Jim Dale and have not been able to find a site that is not a torrent site.

Where can I find Audio books online for the following stories?

The Last Ride by Paul Melniczek
Satan’s Fall by Robert Lyle
The Premature Burial by Edgar Allen Poe
The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe
Hell’s Outcast by Quentin Chambers
The Night that Dripped Blood by Rich Logsdon

Thanks for every answer!!!!!

The first site below has a number of Edgar Allen Poe stories and poems. I found the Tell Tale Heart but not the other one, it is possible that it is in one of the Poe collections of stories they have.

I could not find any of the others on this site and if they are still in copyright you will not find them on any legal audio book site.

Added another good audio book site you can try.

How would you promote kids audio books online?

I have done a number of things – Facebook groups/fans, Twitter, youtube vids http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TQGOhB1nTk What other ways can I get parents to take a look? Thanks in advance!

You’ll need a lot of money to put into e-marketing and advertising. Depending only for online sales might not work out the way you hope. The social networking sites you mentioned are great, but your problem is getting people to know your pages (and book) exists. That costs money to advertise and market toward your target market. Consider, also, getting physical audio copies of your book and physically selling them at places like fairs or wherever you can rent a booth and sell. Sell out of your trunk if you have to – you’re more likely to make more money that way. Self-publishing presents many problems and adequate marketing, promotion, selling, and distribution are the main hurdles. Are you able to get into schools and talk to kids about your book? If you have a young child then speak with your kid’s school to see if you can go there and guest speak and talk to the kids and promote your book, even give away a copy to a lucky winner. If you can get kids interested in your book then they’ll bug their parents to buy it. There’s nothing better than word of mouth. I don’t know how it works with UK schools, but this can be done in USA schools. Just an option.

Target the kids, imo.

What are some classic books that have free audio online?

For instance, I just read animal farm with the audiobook posted on YouTube. I’ve found the audio helps me to comprehend better. What are some great books I can get from my school and download the audio to my iPod from online? My school doesn’t have audiobooks, so I’m wondering if there’s any place online I can get them for free. Thanks for your understanding.

Several web sites offer online full-texts of books that are out of copyright, e.g. www.gutenberg.org.
However, aside from the copyright owner, which is almost always the author or their publisher, ANYONE who posts, distributes, or transmits the text of these books online is violating both the U.S. and the International Copyright laws, infringing on Intellectual Property, and can be fined and jailed for it. (In general, anything first published within the last 52 years in the U.S. will still be in copyright. When the law was changed, it became copyright duration matched the rest of the work, i.e. the author’s/copyright owner’s lifetime plus 50 years.)
Writers make a living by creating their work. To read or use it without paying for it, is STEALING, pure and simple.
If the work is valuable enough to read, it must be paid for.
This is especially true of audiobooks since they are "performance" pieces and thus have their own and much more current copyrights.

Aside from being sued, anyone involved can be arrested, jailed, and fined for violation of both U.S. and International copyright laws, as well as under all the new laws protecting "Intellectual Property".
With ebooks, just as with hardcopies, a person buys that single copy, not the work, data, property, or text within. Those remain the property of the “copyright holder”. The copyright includes the right to copy, produce, manufacturer, transmit, distribute, and sell the work itself.
It’s like buying a mailing list. Someone can use the list to mail flyers to customers, but they cannot duplicate the list for re-sale or even give it away. The "property" belongs to someone else, and is considered theft of their work as much as if a person designs a new invention, patent it, and someone else steals their design, produces it, and sells it without them.
It’s amazing how much this simple law escapes questioners here.
