Hum. I do want competition in the audiobook industry, but I sure hope they don't try to go with a proprietary cloud service. There is no way in the world I would buy an audiobook that I could only listen to that way.

Take a look over in freebies for links to the Caesar Millan titles. |

I signed up. Love it. But the only reason I would use the"skip to the good part" feature is if the book was boring me.

I'd never use skip to the good part unless I lost my place and it was during a sexy time. I don't read romance for sex. I read romance for romance.

I hope you both try out the feature, though. I'm curious to know how well it works.
