Carol - Can't comment on the Book Courier, but yes, you can subscribe to Audible, I think they offer 2 downloads per month for about $14.95; I don't have a subscription with them, just downloading when I want, I usually wait for their special offers that seem to occur 3-4 times a year, when they give substantial discounts; there is one on at the moment offering 30% discount. Their books will play in WMP, but they have their own software called Audible Manager, part of which is a Desk-Top player wich gives good navigation and bookmarking facilities for the Audible books.

Just one word of warning, some of their titles are not available for download outside of the US, so that can restrict your choice; I have found that this seems to happen with certain new or recent titles - non the less, there is a very good selection, but again, bear in mind, not all books are available in format 4, which is the best sound quality. I think if you join one of the Audible plans at the moment, you can get your first 2 titles for 99 cents - I've too much reading from others sources as well as Audible to find time to commit to their 2 titles per month subscription, but many think it great value.

Hi All,

I have been looking at
www.audible.com

Can those of you who use it please let me know whether you can make use
of all the features of Book Courier with AUDIBLE books, in other words,
whether they are properly formatted for this?  In addition, are there
any other easy ways to read these books?  Finally, I didn't find
anything about a subscription.  Is this because there isn't one but you
pay for most books downloaded?  I'd be grateful for any further
information you can give me on or off list.

Thanks.
