Hi Phil,

The situation with Audible is at least a little better.  We can at least 
have some of the books from Audible, but with Bookshare, they won't even 
let us in.  I haven't looked yet to see if the CLinton book is there, I 
don't much care for it, but I wouldn't mind betting it will be there soon, 
if it is produced in audio form.

All the best
