New York Public Library just started offering free audiobook downloads

This part strikes me as odd:

Digital audio books are available for free to members through the library's Web site. Users can borrow up to 10 digital books at a time, and after 21 days the materials will be automatically checked in and made available to others.

I guess you're on the honor system to destroy your copy of it when it's checked back in.

You can burn them on CDs, so they can't stop your CD copy from playing.
