BooksShouldBeFree [9] has a large collection of free audio books in its Biography section. These are supposed to be available in MP3 and iTunes compatible downloads. However, I had trouble with Firefox and the iTunes download. Note: The iTunes download is an itpc address (podcast).

However, the downloads were MP3 segments, so just as well to download the MP3 link as it is in one zip file.
