If you are familiar with Project Gutenburg than you will understand better what Librivox is. Libravox is a community of people working to make public domain texts available as free audio books. Community members get the texts from project gutenburg or a library and then record themselves reading it outloud. The books are then available as mp3s to download free from the site.
My opinion: this is a great concept. I just listened to Silas Marner that I downloaded from them, and it was quite good. If I had bought a recording of audible.com it would have run $16.50. However, the quality of the readings and the recording very greatly because anyone can be a librivox reader. In short, I like the idea but sometimes you get what you pay for.
