If you are in a wi fi zone you have full internet use. I can check email or read this board, watch youtube, just it's on a small screen. I love my IpodTouch. I can record radio programs and listen to them when I want. I enjoy talk radio.

Just a comment here...
Many of the books with overdrive media are in Windows Media Player. I'm not sure if Ipods play those files.
Just want to warn you. I have a creative Zen and I'm extremely happy with mine. It plays mp3 files, or WMA without any problems.
I wanted to add that people have said that I must have the "patience of a saint" when I've worked on my scrappy quilts (1.5" inch strips). Not so. I enjoy listening to my books and sometimes I keep sewing because I'm enjoying the story so much! :)

Great idea. Actually, on most cd players... you can use earbuds. The headphone out on most cd players, walkmans and the like are 1/8" jacks.
Just buying an ipod for books.... when you already have a CD player... well, you might not have to. It would save you a bunch of time and money.
OR...
If you already have the ipod, then check with the geeks at the applestore. They'll show you how to do whatever. Or ask anyone that's into audio/video/art... they tend to use mac products.
