This is what I do. I have a 32 gig mp3 player (not ipod) and use it often. A book ranges from 50 mb to 250 mb depending on how many cds are in it.

They've already done the work for you. Depending on where you live, of course. Do you have a library card?

I just checked. You live in St. Paul.

Here is the link. You will not need to BUY books.

Just go get a library card if you don't have one and then register on the website link I sent you. You'll have to look around the site a bit.

I HIGHLY recommend this method. You just check out the books and listen to them and then delete them from your mp3 player. Simple. Really.
Thank you and yes, I am a fan of the St. Paul Public Library system. I even buy their outdated cd books and tapes. Don't know where to put them anymore either. Which is the main reason for the iPod! Thanks again for your help! Edie
