The market for audiobooks is relatively small compared to the US market. But you can find a lot of audiobooks on Audien.com. They're a great way to get exposed to the language when you are sick of the printed word. They are high, professional quality and really cheap. You can get half an audiobook (about an hour's worth) for 800 won (less than a U.S. dollar, last time I checked).

I'm having trouble getting the site to display properly. Has anyone purchased from this website? I'd be interested to hear any experiences people have with them. They seem to be the only resource on the web for Korean audio books.

Yeah, it loads fine in IE7, but the formatting is *way* off in both Opera 10.10 and FF 3.5.7 (everything is stacked vertically for some reason).

Most of the fonts display Korean properly, but the drop down menus are all a jumble of non-Korean characters. Seems even when my Korean is good enough, I still wouldn't be able to navigate the site :(

I hadn't even tried the pulldowns. You are right, they are just garbled characters in all three browsers. {scratches head}

It's because they're using Flash. If you're on Windows you can get around the problem by searching for "Microsoft applocale" and pick the Korean language when you run IE/Firefox/Opera etc. Sometimes you need to completely exit your browser before it'll work.
