It is a nice little project but if anyone actually wants pre-made audio versions of out-of-copyright books then I suggest looking at LibriVox[0]
They have thousands of works read by volunteers (some are very good, some average) and they publish RSS feeds for collections so you can consume them with your podcast app.
For example, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes[1], a dramatic reading.

- vmilner 4y agoSee also Magpie Audio for high audio quality recordings of Holmes and others (eg Pride and Prejudice) by professional actors. (They have been put on YouTube by the main reader Greg Wayland for free - though I think he retains copyright)
- neves 4y agoA well interpreted audio book is really a enjoyable experience. Some books ask to be read aloud.
