I'm reporting back with an update. I joined Audible.com and got my first book. I downloaded Audible on my iPhone and listed to a few chapters of the book, I love it! Then my grandson played with the phone (he uses it for games), and lo and behold, he deleted my Audible!! I've talked to him about that
Anyway, then yesterday he and his Dad went to spend the night with some friends, and you guessed it, he took the iPhone with him. So here I was stuck at home wanting to do some sewing and listen to my book and didn't have the iPhone. So I just jumped in the car and went to Best Buy and bought the little Sansa Clip+. Played around with it last night and got my book loaded on it. This is a very cute, handy gadget. Right now I can't figure out how to go back to where I was in the book, unless I just hit the power button. When I'm ready to stop listening, I just hit the power button, when I turn it back on, it resumes where I left off. Is there an option somewhere for "resume", without turning the power off?
And you want to hear something funny? I didn't realize the Sansa can only be used with earphones!! At first, I unplugged the earphones and kept thinking, OK where's the speaker on this little thing?
Anyway, I'm assuming that with the Sansa Clip+ I can download my books from Audible.com and also can download audiobooks from the library? When I download books from the library, will they go into the Audible Manager or is that only for books from Audible? I know when I download ebooks, it uses ADE, does it use something similar for audiobooks?
