I am sharing this in place of today’s Quick Link because I don’t want you to miss out. Full disclosure, I don’t make a penny off of any of this. I have friends who are very much into audiobooks and this seems like a great way to relax this summer, along with the other offers in the Lifehacker post

From now until the end of September, Scribd is offering unlimited access to over 5,000 audiobooks to subscribers. Sounds like a good way to pass the time while the summer heat keeps us languid.

• A Scribd subscription costs $8.99 and normally comes with three books and one audio book per month, so the unlimited book buffet until September 30th is a nice perk. There’s also a free two week trial; it’s a nice promotion if you find yourself with a lot of free time and eager ears this summer. [Scribd]
• In other news, Netflix has a new tool for making a movie playlist called Flixtape. It’s a fun idea with half-baked execution; you can only add six titles, and you can’t include individual episodes from shows. A mixtape with your favorite episodes would be a fun to share! But this is more like finding a cardboard box full of discarded VHS tapes on the sidewalk. [TechCrunch]
