They have a wide range of audio books, just look threw them and if you like something you can burn it onto CD for your personal use only, that means no selling it.

Also check out Gutenberg.com, which has free computer generated audio that are available for download. Though their collection doesn't offer many contemporary reads, they have a good source of classis literature.

Or another approach would be the do-it yourself, record your own audio books. This is a great idea for parents with young children. If you have to go away for business, at least you're child won't have to miss those bed time readings.

So go and try these suggestions, the faster you go the faster you're curled up in bed listening to your favorite book.
