I need to explain how I am getting my audiobooks and ebooks from. Back when I was wanting to read the Flowers in the Attic series, I found out my local library had the books as ebooks on the internet.
The ebooks/audiobooks are through a website called Overdrive. On the website, you can put in your library (if you live in the United States) and it will give you a website with your library on it. The one I use is the North Carolina Digital Library. All you do to get the ebooks/audiobooks is using your library card. You have 14 days to listen to audiobooks and 21 days to read ebooks. Once those days expire, the ebook and audiobook will disappear. Also you can put the ebooks and audiobooks on hold (which means you have to wait for them to be available), and you can put them on your waitlist.
At the time, my library card was old and I couldn't use it. So I got a new one when I got my haircut.
Here is the website:
Borrow eBooks, audiobooks and videos from thousands of public libraries worldwide.

@salonga I was actually wrong. It is used in other counties, but I don't know if it's used in the Philippines.

It is an interesting information. If Overdrive application is used, one will have the choice to listen to audio books instead of reading.
PS - I have checked up the link, there is only one Library in New Delhi and that is in US Embassy, which is away from my home.

I use overdrive in Canada as well. My daughter works at our local library and helped me set it up on my iPad and home computer.
