I know it's possible in theory, but not for me in fact, lol. I'm all thumbs when it comes to tech. My attitude is not to worry about it for the moment. Except for Audible my audiobook purchases are DRM-free and I'm betting Audible's not going anywhere for now. If the situation looks as if it's changing, I guess I'm in for a bad patch as I try to figure things out.
I confess, I didn't realize that the Aerb wasn't Audible-compatible until after I bought it. (Too clueless to check.) Fortunately OverDrive has met my needs on that front (never a wait at my libraries for Aubrey/Maturin!) and I really like the Aerb as a device. My books from Downpour and elsewhere tend to be more serious stuff and not what I want while swimming.

Thanks! I've postponed the decision for now, but I'm thinking it might be a good purchase at Audible with the $10 credit I need to spend in the next couple of weeks.
