Hi Im new here and found this site in a state of complete frustration.
I am a senior who because of health problems I have to spend quite a bit of time in bed.
I have been listening to audiobooks for several years and up until recently just checked the cd's out of my library.
This past year as the cd's I hadn't listened to got slimmer and slimmer I began listening during the day with Overdrive.
The problem Im having and need assistance with is I would like to start listening to the overdrive audiobooks at night but I can't keep leaving my computer on all night it gets quite hot, plus its a desktop and I have to get someone to carry it to my bedroom.
I have checked out a bunch of different type of equipment to transfer them to but nothing seems quite right.
Looked into Bluetooth speakers but I would need to leave my computer on. Various MP3 players but I have an iMac and I can't find any info on how well they work with Mac, and so many things don't work well with Mac.
I don't use cell phones and do not want to go that route. Cant swipe screens, don't want to fumble for glasses to read a small screen in the middle of the night if I need to rewind, the keypads are too small etc etc.
Then I though that maybe a chrome book would do but from a bit of reading I have done on the web about them that doesn't seem like a good option either.
That leaves me with a cheap laptop that is compatible with overdrive. Something that I could use just for audiobooks. At least I wouldn't have to worry about the thing being compatible with the Mac.
Does anyone have any ideas for me? Right now when she is able my granddaughter stops by and hauls my desktop into the bedroom but that can't continue.
I don't listen to audio books on the go like most people do, mainly because Im hardly ever on the go. Its the nighttime thats my primary time as they really help relax me and take me out of my head.
I would really appreciate any help or advice
