Alternative sources for studying?

I love Speechify. It's not super cheap for the Premium version but the voices are great and well worth the $100-something it costs for a year's subscription.

Have you seen Khan Academy? They don't cover every single subject but they do cover a lot of them and their videos tend to be pretty good.
