Okay, so I know Librivox is a free service, but I'm surprised at how basic its search functions, were. I was also upset that when trying to listen to one of Karl Marx's works, the different parts were labelled by the whatever points the reader or uploader chose, not based on chapter. The fourth file was the first one to actually be the book, but it wasn't labled as such. I also quickly found out that a work like Marx's, with its complicated phraseology and numerous footnotes (which are read in the order they are encountered in the reading), is for me, impossible to follow via audiobook format. I also found that the reader's voice can add or detract from the original work.
I was, however, excited that I got to clean my room as a work by Alduous Huxley was read to me in an Irish accent. Definitely not possible with a book.
