This is the first summer I'm swimming with an mp3 player and I'm delighted (indeed, I haven't been listening to audiobooks for very long). I love to swim, but tedium used to set in before exhaustion.
The Aerb is a nice little device. Unfortunately, it doesn't do Audible from what I can tell, though you could always convert the Audible book to MP3. Though that's not a subject we can talk about here, since it involves DRM removal.

I see Otterbox now has a really good waterproof case for iPhone (5 series only). That's a bit bigger than I want in the pool, but if anyone comes up with a good Bluetooth solution, that could easily be my next phone. Also, there are solutions out there based on iPod Shuttles that have been completely waterproofed.
