    Lots of cars today have a port that allows you to hook up your Ipad into your speakers. You can get a cable at Radio Shack and you're ready to go. We listened to audio books while on our bucket list trip last summer.

    Gipper, my car is 7 years old and doesn't have a port to attach to and I am to cheap to get another radio, at least right now. :)

    I have been listening to books on audio for years but am starting to run out of stuff at my library. Some of these old books look interesting to me and I am going to try a few of them and see if they work out.

    I may investigate the radio.

    But thanks. Hey Gipper I am kind of forgetful, where all did you go on your bucket trip?

    Sounds a lot like the trip we took out west a few years ago. What kind of places did you visit? Ours was mostly the Rocky Mountains, then last summer we went to Maine for a month.

    We did listen to a lot of audio books on both trips.

    This site has free audio books for the old books. The quality seems to be pretty good for the readers. I just downloaded Bram Stokers Dracula among a ton of others to carry around in my IPod, not IPad but I have a Classic IPod that holds 120 GB. I've had it several years and haven't used it that much, but that is about to change.

    Also Terry I am pretty sure I am going to change my radio out for one of those with a USB port. Between the IPod, Cell Phone and GPS I think it might be worthwhile.

    Here's a link.

    Books Should Be Free
