Question:
Those who got the Larry Niven freebie - and mine is waiting for me from Audible.com just as soon as I download the software - did you choose to download the software to your iPod or iPhone, or to an MP3 player? Thanks, Don |

I'm sorry, but I AM eligible for the offer. I took advantage of the offer when it was availible and it's waiting for me right now to download. Back to my question: Audible wants to know to what manner I wish to download the audible ebook. I'm uncertain whether to download it to my iPod or to my Kindle 2. (A choice has to be made BEFORE the audible software can be downloaded to my computer.) Thanks, Don |

I'm sort of curious about trying an audio book. I have to admit, I've never actually tried one before. For those of you who listen to them often, in what situations do you listen to them most? While in transit, at work, working out? |

Kindle is compatible with formats 2, 3, and 4. You fit more files with type two but some people think that the sound is not as good. You can down load it in another audio format if you don't like the sound.
I have been an Audible listener for quite some time now. |

Zune. I'm listening to it on dog walks. I used the Audible Manager to download it. Enjoying it a lot.

I think the Kindle 2 supports Audible formats 4 and AAX only. I got format 4 because it's the only Audible format that's compatble with all of my devices that can play Audible files.

I love to read but the next best thing is to be read to. Then there are readers who I would listen to no matter what they read!! Some are great and really add alot to a story with the accents and inflections. (Grover Gardner and Dick Hill are the BEST!) There are books I've listened to that I would never have picked up to read. It's really expanded my interests. I do get all mine through the library, so if I REALLY don't like a book, I just delete it. I'd be more picky if I bought them. |

Ok, I downloaded it to my iTunes.
I should be able to listen to this on my Kindle, right? If not, I'll just carry my iPod around, or plug the iPod into my stereo system. (I have the Yamaha Dock that connects directly to my Yamaha DSP Z-7.) Don |

This scares the h*ll out of me! At least I don't live near Dallas, but how many other people are driving around absorbed in something other than driving? Cell phones are bad enough (handsfree doesn't help-the problem is being distracted from your most important activity while behind the wheel-driving). There was a case in Alaska where it was alleged the driver of an SUV was watching a DVD (screen was viewable by the driver-don't think they were able to prove that he was actually watching it, but that's what was alleged) when he had an accident.

I haven't tried syncing the Kindle using iTunes. I installed the Audible Manager (on the software page, tell it you want MP3's), which then downloads the exact same format as used by the ipod (type 4 is what I get, usually), but lets you activate a Kindle or an MP3 player. I'm just not reinstalling for my sansa clip player, but having an issue with activation (I think Norton is blocking it's access to the internet).
