Hello Noreen, You can use the Audible app to read books from audible.com. Are you familiar with this service? If your regular public library is registered with OneClick, you can use the One-click app to download and read their audio books on your iPhone. Similarly, your library might use Overdrive as does the NCBI and this also has an iPhone app called Overdrive which you can download to your iPhone. All of these apps are free. They control the licence to read their books and that is why they have been created for the iPhone. If you like to read books in mp3 format, you can download them to the iPhone using iTunes as "music" and they will be listed under "Music" in the iPhone. There are different ways to transfer them into iTunes and through iTunes into the iPhone so it might be best to respond to specific questions on this technique if they arise. You can transfer audible, One-click and Overdrive books to mp3 format on your desktop computer and then they can be transferred using iTunes into your iPhone. Books in WMA format cannot be read on the iPhone and must be sent through their respective apps to convert them to mp3. If you have any questions on these items I will happily answer as best I can. I use all of them on my iPhone which is a 4S running IOS 6.01. All the best, Cearbhall T: +353 (0)1 2864623 m: 08333 23487 E: omeadhrac@xxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Noreen Meagher Sent: 23 January 2013 17:42 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] Audio books query New to Iphone so wondering what is most popular method used to access audio books?
