Free Republic

I want to start listening to audiobooks on my iPhone but some say they're free until you try to use them or load a book on them. I understand the charge for a book, but not the app. What are you using?

Something amazing has happened. Many posts ago, I told people that Yes, I am open to taking requests for free open source audiobook production and I meant it. I would be curious to know any directions people would like to go - of course, I have my own goals and a much greater lack of manpower than anybody can know. But there's plenty of room for overlap, and that post will never have an expiration date. But there has been a change recently, and most importantly, the reverse has come true. I've been in contact with someone, and after many...

I think I have covered this before, but a fresh look might have some value. Immediately below are in-summary bulletpoints, with details after that where necessary: For more than any other reason, I simply don't want to. Every other reason boils down to this one in one way or another.The raw power of free stuff.Every time I release an audiobook, it strengthens and advances conservatism.We need a more educated voter base.The most wide open door is a zero-cost of entry.Having a fascination with progressivism, this greatly reduces potential customers.Past lessons learned from the Tea Party era.For works of the Founders,...

Full title: So then, conservatives, don't produce audio that's commercially viable. Simple! Problem solved. Not sure if you heard, but Google is going to be cutting off content that they deem to be "not commercially viable". Of course we all know that means cutting off conservatives. Yes, I'm a conservative, and no, I'm not worried one bit. Why would I be worried, I already don't produce anything commercially viable. Oh, you want to say that what I produced wasn't valuable? My personal favorite is the book The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution, which according to the Archive page has...

The is an art to debating the political left. This goes beyond attempting to argue with people that have a skewed perception of reality. Gaining debate skills is useful for winning the battle of ideas with people who are yet to take a political ideological stance. I created a political debate guide for conservatives and I would like to give a FREE audiobook copy to anyone who wants one. If you are interested, simply email ibbetson91.9@gmail.com and ask for a FREE audiobook copy of "Eat the Liberals!: A Pocket Guide to Debating the Political Left" Put "free audiobook" in the...

Americans are spreading their book consumption across several formats, and the use of audiobooks is rising. About three-quarters (74%) of Americans have read a book in the past 12 months in any format, a figure that has remained largely unchanged since 2012, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in January. Print books remain the most popular format for reading, with 67% of Americans having read a print book in the past year. And while shares of print and e-book readers are similar to those from a survey conducted in 2016, there has been a modest but statistically significant...

So I work a job at night that's very repetitive, and I'm allowed to listen to music. I've found though i don't have the time for reading that I used to, and that I'd rather spend my time listening to audiobooks while working, then music to help keep my mind from dying a slow death from disuse. Which leads me here, what better group of people to come to for help finding books that will further my knowledge of both fiction and non-fiction, then everyone at Free Republic? I'm looking for any good non-fiction audiobooks on history, science, philosophy, medicine,...

We are going on a long car trip, with kids in the back. There will be a long stretch of desert without much radio. We adults would like to listen to something interesting on the trip. We have already purchased the audio to Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny for the way there. On the way back, we'd love a mystery or something really gripping. Here is where you come in. Those of you who listen to audiobooks, or read mysteries, can you think of one that you loved, not too feminine please, got to please the guys, that does NOT...
