You can do the same with Overdrive.

Also check out podcasts. There are some very good ones out there on a variety of subjects.

If you have amazon prime offers free books/audio etc to Prime members

Just going to reiterate Audible and podcasts.

Audible is worth it for the book credit every month. I have resolved that I need to "read" more. I have also resolved that I will "read" one book each month. For $15/mo., I can accomplish that hassle-free. Totally worth the money.

The rest of my drive-time is taken up by various podcasts. Podcasts are fantastic entertainment, if you get into the right ones. I have been straight-up addicted to podcasting since two radio guys down here in Orlando went podcast-exclusive. You can listen to history podcasts, political podcasts, radio show podcasts, true crime podcasts, entertainment podcasts, you name it, there's probably a podcast out there for it.

A few really good pods to get you started would be:

The History of Rome Podcast
The Jocko Podcast
The Joe Rogan Experience
The Adam Carolla Show
The Myths and Legends Podcast
The Tim Ferriss Show
The Nerdist Podcast
Louder With Crowder

Think of them as free entertainment, like radio, with literally none of radio's limitations like segment-length, lots of ads breaking the flow, or program direction. It's a person, a mic, maybe an interview, and entertainment ensues.
