Borders Launches Audiobook MP3 Store With Free Offering


Borders is now offering DRM-fee audiobook MP3s on its recently relaunched web site.

About 15,000 selections are available so far — some as cheap as $7, others as expensive as $35. They’re also available in WMA format.

The noteworthy part, though, is that you can get the full audiobook of Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild for free if you download it before the end of Saturday. You do have to sign up for an account, but there’s no fee and doesn’t appear to be any real catch to it. As of now, however, the service is limited to PCs only.

    what are the chances that the next kindle will get mp3 playback capabilities? makes sense for your ebook reader to handle audio books too, no?
