My problem with libro.fm is I think each book is to expensive. I can get the books cheaper through audible. You are correct about bard though. Here in the U.S. I've got over 1400 bard books on my iPhone I really shouldn't worry about needing to find anything else to read. Although, voice dream reader and bookshare is very cool as well.
