This is a most logical deduction, but happily for us library users, it's partly wrong. OverDrive audiobooks (and I presume NetLibrary audiobooks?) expire on your PC. But the same audiobooks don't expire on most all MP3 players. So there's no problem* in checking out library audiobooks well ahead of the time you want to listen to them, as long as you load them onto the Clip+** before the expiration date.
*The ethics of keeping audiobooks for longer than the intended period is sketchy, as the publisher has a possible loss of revenue. But your case is different, and IMHO, perfectly fine.
**There are many MP3 players that work well with library audiobooks, but not all of them. You should post again if you are leaning to purchasing some other player so we can weigh in on whether it plays protected DRM and if it has resume or bookmarking (to continue where you left off listening).
