Mary - I go online to my local library find the audiobooks on CD
that I want to listen to they will come in from one of 10-15 libraries
around the area, IF they do not have it then I go to the "prospector"
which is interlinked with about 30+ (more on the plus side) other
libraries from around the state, IF by chance none of them has what
I am looking for than I branch out to ILL (inter library loan) that USUALLY
will net me the audiobook I am looking for.
However there are some that I just can not get no matter what I try
because they either have not been released in audiobook/cd, or they
could be to old.
But not matter HOW I get my audiobooks I "rip" them down to MP4
format for my iPod and I listen to my books. Since July 2009 I have
listened to OVER 400 audiobooks, and some of them are REPEATS
because I liked them just that much.
dabbler - I LOVE audiobooks because not only does it "free" up my
hands to allow me to do other things such as multitask with sewing,
cooking or whatever. Even at work since I do not have to answer any
phones I get "lost" in my own little world of a book and work my fingers
off.
Both my bosses made the comment that they have come to talk to me
a few times only to discover that I didn't hear a word they said because
I was working at top speed.
Another MAIN reason I love audiobooks is because you can "hear" the
"tone of voice" in the story, sometimes it is hard to imagine what the
exact (or the right) t.o.v. should be, but with audios you can actually
hear sadness, laughter, anger or whatever the case is.
I HIGHLY recommend you try the Grand Finale by J.E. but just remember
if you do try it to be sure to go to the bathroom BEFORE you start.
Oh yeah Mary I found a larger bottle of that Best Press so I am going on
the hunt for a small spray bottle this weekend and I will send you a small
"trial" size bottle to try to see how it works for you.
