i am living out of US,so it is difficult for me to use audible easily. :)
There are a number of really clever software people out there, smart enough to write code to allow us to move music files off the iPod onto our PCs or Macs, etc, and do lots of other clever stuff.I'm just wondering whether anyone has found out the details of how the Audible (and now maybe .MB4)...

I've run across an interesting website. As I've found no mention of it in an iPodlounge forum search, I thought I'd post it here even though it is not directly related to Audible.com + iPod.The site is called Wired for Books ( http://wiredforbooks.org/). It includes interviews conduc...

I am a huge fan of audible.com and have listened to many books. Some spectacular books are not available from audible.com, however, and are worth obtaining from places like booksontape.com. A good example is Nelson Mandela's Autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom (28 glorious hours).I have been us...

Just a quick question to all the Audible veterans out there: Did anyone ever got any "real" mail (an invoice, a letter) from Audible, or is everything handled by email? Thank you Moritz
Has anyone listened to the set of books? I have started reading the first one, the gunslinger and it is good so far. Some people have called this series one of the best and even good enough to compete with the Lord of the Rings series. What does everyone think? the reviews on audible.com are pret...
