Allow Audiobooks as a category in Ubuntu One Music Store with free content from the LibriVox project.
Or Have LibriVox as a plugin in Rhythmbox alongside Jamendo etc (with an Audio Books menu item under Library)

I suggest integrating, if possible, with Project Gutenberg instead of or in addition to LibriVox. Project Gutenberg includes LibriVox recordings but also has some other books 'read' by computer-generated voices, thereby making more public-domain books available in audio format.

There are a lot of CopyLeft or CreativeCommons type projects out there. It would be great to have built-in support for all of them & it would increase the range of stuff available to users.

I'd be all for integrating Librivox content, but one thing I've always found about the site is that it can be hard to find interesting content based on subject.

I'd suggest allowing users to apply tags - fiction, nonfiction, horror, fantasy, sf, etc. - to assist in browsing available audiobooks.

Allow users to donate money to these projects by allowing them to set a price they want to pay.
