I've been an Audible.com subscriber for years - and have hundreds of books stored in my library at Audible. I have arthritis and holding books for any length of time has been difficult for me for several years, so Audible was a lifesaver for me. I recently canceled my subscription because I don't have the problem holding the Kindle, and am doing my reading that way again. I didn't have any difficulty using the Audible manager and registering my Kindle with it on the computer - but Audible has always had pretty clunky software.
I had used an iPod before for Audible books and am very happy to only have to carry one device. I did buy an extra battery for the Kindle, and also occasionally use a Socket Mobile Power Pack for the Kindle and my phone so power hasn't been an issue for me. Even with the Kindle there are situations where I much prefer Audible books - i.e., I get distracted much more easily on a plane reading than I do listening. And it's easier to ignore other passengers when I have earplugs on! - sheureka
