Any iPod will work that way, just put them in a playlist. Zune is smart enough to recognize that each part is part of a whole, and will play the complete book. But doesn't have a concept of playlists for Audio Books, so when you finish a book you need to tell it which book you want to listen to next. With iPods, you just line your books up in the playlist and it moves to the next one automatically.

There is no option. You get 2 holds and 4 borrows for 21 days each. Way too long. I'd borrow 7 or 14 days. But you can borrow 4 books at one time and as you finish, return early and borrow another or you can borrow two at a time in case your holds are ready.

I didn't think that there were options, it would be good to have them though.
