Posted on 2016-11-25 at 8:36 by Sam
Before November runs out, take the take to take a break from Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping and pick up a little something for yourself for those long, dark winter nights.

Cory Doctorow audiobooks now available at Downpour.com
Posted on 2013-11-17 at 15:8 by Sam
While I wasn't looking, a quartet of Cory Doctorow's audiobooks showed up at Downpour.com -- they aren't available on Audible.com due to Audible's DRM-only format and Doctorow's anti-DRM stance. I don't know when they arrived, but it's a welcome sight and one I've been asking for since Downpour's launch as a DRM-free multi-vendor alternative to Audible.com. So, as promised in a quick update on this week's Release Week write-up, here's some more links and pictures and verbiage about Doctorow's audiobooks

Cory Doctorow's Pirate Cinema, DRM-free and direct from the author
Posted on 2012-10-08 at 17:45 by Sam
Via author Cory Doctorow’s blog, he is selling direct, EULA- and DRM-free downloads of his latest audiobook, Pirate Cinema (Listening Library, read by Bruce Mann), from his own website. It’s also available DRM-free from Simply Audiobooks, eMusic, BooksOnBoard, and Barnes & Noble (probably among others), but this is the first I can remember seeing a publisher-published audiobook being sold directly in this manner. (I have purchased some of his previous audiobooks DRM-free from some of the above stores, and
