Borrow audio from elsewhere
Calibre Audio Library
Calibre Audio Library provides an audio loan service with a joining fee. You can borrow cassettes and digital books in MP3 format, available on MP3 discs and on USB memory sticks.
Public libraries
Many libraries have audio book and magazine collections on CD or cassette available for loan for a small fee. Often blind and partially sighted people are exempt from these fees.
Increasingly, downloadable audio books or eBooks with synthetic text to speech are offered by local libraries. This varies across the UK so it's worth checking with your local service if you are interested.
