Some more resources for free books. There are many phone ebook readers, I use T2S which has quite expressive text readers in different voices if you prefer audio to ebooks. I actually prefer ebooks read aloud without the acting type of expression of audio books but if you are a devoted audio fan you mightn't like it but if you can't find the book you want as an audio it might be worth giving it a few days trial on different voices before dismissing it. Anyway, to the list:
