I noticed that many websites offering free audiobooks tend to have clunky search functionality, making it harder to find what you're looking for. To address this, I’ve created a site that aggregates audiobooks from multiple platforms—complete with book reviews and ratings—making it easier to discover and explore new titles.

At the moment, I've included audiobooks from popular sources like Librivox, Project Gutenberg, and Lit2Go.

I'm open to suggestions on additional free audiobook sources I could integrate into the site to expand the collection!

The big thing I want in a book repository is a hierarchical list which will allow browsing by subject.

One site which does work well for this (for textual books) and which is well-regarded is:

https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/subjects.html

which uses the LoC identifier for a given text.

A project which past me wanted for future me was to read one book from each LoC category, and then to repeat that for sub-categories --- young me did that for the Dewey Decimal system for the high school library, but there were a number of gaps in the collection, and at that time, I didn't have the discipline or resources to make note of them so as to source books from other book repositories.
