Naomi, You may want to look at iCast, at http://books.icast.co.il/ for Hebrew audiobooks. The site, including its Hebrew interface, may be automatically translated into English by Google Translate (it popped up on my screen when accessing the site). The results are quite erratic in terms of proper translation, but you can try it if you're not comfortable with Hebrew.
I wonder if other AJL libraries would be interested in this service. When I visited in Israel last summer, I talked with the owner of iCast about a special contract for AJL, but getting no response from members, we didn't pursue it.
