As my husband is in the car a great deal for work, he enjoys listening to audiobooks to help pass the time.  There are also Kid titles that you could use to calm the troops on a long car ride.  Besides being free to download, another frugal aspect of these eBooks is that there is no late fee.  At the end of the loan period, the titles expire and are automatically returned to the library.
