Now to find out WMA vs MP3 - I did a quick serach and could not find anything.

I wasn't surprised. I always suspected Kindle would be the dominant format in public libraries.

As to audiobooks - WMA is the probable leader, because the majority of audiobooks in most libraries are in this format. Here are a few examples:
  • US Navy General Library --- WMA= 25,656 ..... MP3= 14,927
  • Seattle Public Library ------ WMA= 19,356 ..... MP3= 11,268
  • ClevNet Library Coop ------ WMA= 15,859 ..... MP3= 8,416
  • Calgary Public Library ------ WMA= 12,364 ..... MP3= 6,453
