Here's a problem that occurs, though, because of my buying pattern: I sometimes forget that I have already bought the audiobook, and end up buying it again! There is a retailer or too that will lock me out from purchasing an audiobook a second time, or at least ask me if I really want to buy that audiobook again. But, most don't. And if I'm buying from a different retailer, well I get no warning at all, of course. In the situation where one or both are CD's, I'm going to put one on eBay one of these days. I hope that I don't find that I have three (or more!) copies of the same audiobook! Sometimes I wish that I had a photographic memory . . . .

Here's one way Calibre has (mostly) saved me from doing the same (which I used to do with paperbacks, esp. if browsing the used stores).
For audiobooks, create a blank book and fill in the title, author, etc. I usually go ahead and enter the synopsis, genre, any series info, etc. Under tags, I put "Audiobook" and a second tag for the format (Audible, MP3, etc). Then, when buying a book, I check my Calibre database first.
