Hi tabascobird

Maybe not everything - but thank you for your kind words

And thanks for posting. It's nice to know that those, who have been forum members for a long time still lurk around as guests, even if they don't log in and post that often

[Climer]

thanks for the welcome and the swift info.

Hi Climer,
I think that there is one basic problem with audio books and that is all but the shortest tend to run to 6 plus CDs (24 in the case of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ). This makes downloading them (even at a low bit rate) very expensive. This is not the answer you are after, but for me the best way of getting audio books is to buy them (I usually get them from Amazon), burn them to you mp3 player and then sell the original CDs on ebay. I have done this many times (including the Harry potter books) and although they cost a bit to start with, you can usually get 90% of the cost back on the auction price & postage. For three of the HP books, I even made a profit; I do not think alot of people who use ebay ever check out the deals on Amazon first. Ofcourse, you could just buy the audio book from ebay, and it might even be me selling it.
Cheers,
Dave C

Climer,

They have weekly special offers where selected audio books are up to 80% off retail pricing. You can also save 20% off your first purchase. The downloads are offered in 3 different file sizes with very little difference in sound quality and are stored for you in your online library which is password protected. You can sync directly to your MP3 player without having to burn a CD first (unless you have a iPod). Just thought you'd like another source to check out.

Hi emediaxpress and welcome to the forum

Thank you for offering an alternative to the very few audio book stores we already know - and it looks like a nice little shop you have there
