I can't answer about this specific phone model, but I can do that with a my Samsung Galaxy S3, so I would assume you can. It might be worth a trip to an AT&T store to ask them?

The MediaMonkey app allows one to sync audio files (including audiobooks) amongst all the devices the app is loaded on.

Just got my Moto E smartphone from Amazon! I'm just starting to set it up and updating the software now. It is so much more elegant than my Pantech Crossover--significantly larger screen (4.3 as opposed to 3.1); I think I could read quite comfortably on this. It's also much lighter--the Pantech has a slide-out keyboard, which was one of the big selling features for me, except it turned out I never used it! and that contributed a lot to the weight.

The Moto E takes a micro SIM card, which is not what the old phone has, so I have to get to the AT&T store before I can use it as a phone. After I get back from the store, I'll set up KU with narration and check that out.

NOT that I'm recommending you do so, and I'm certainly accepting no responsibility should you decide to try it, but know that the difference between the sim size is just some excess plastic that can be trimmed away.

There are templates on line:

Thanks, yes, I did see some templates when I Googled, but the store isn't far away and I'll just go over and get the correct size--they told me there's no charge. It seems safer than letting me loose with scissors!

I thought so, too, when I switched from my Pantech to my Nokia 520 Windows phone.

Of course Neverwhere was a daily deal only weeks after I spent a credit on it. Bah.

Audible has another prequal short story available for free pre-order. If you have an interest in Brian J. Anderson's "The Godling Chronicles" (or are just a fantasy fan in general, like me) then you can get a free copy of "The Jewel of Dantenos" by going here. I don't know if it will still be free after the release date (Sept. 5) so if you're interested don't delay.

Enjoy!

Hmm. I guess those of us who like audiobooks really are second-class citizens around here.

I just noticed that most of the different category threads (romance, mystery, Christian interest, etc.) in the Deals forum have now become stickies. But not this one.

I know right! I take it as a sign that we're getting our own sub forum

This is frustrating me, too. I have several general topics related to audiobooks I'd like to discuss now that I'm a convert (if they interested anyone else), but I don't know how or where or if to propose them.

Hey, PTB, audiobooks are an electronic medium, too!
