I am wondering if any of you have put an audiobook into an iPod and does it work? Also, I can get either a 40, 80 or 160 gb and also how many books would each hold! I have a lot of binding here to do and need help! Thanks very much. Edie

Wow! I never thought of that. My husband has an iPod and listens to podcasts on them. Now I'm wondering if I can use my droid smart phone to do the same thing. I love to read. I love to quilt. Nothing could be better than doing two things that I love at the same time! Has anyone downloaded audio books to their smart phone?

New books have copyrights to protect the author's hard work. Even when non-copyrighted books are republished, the publisher has financed that and is justly due recompense for it. The library has agreements with publishers as to how books will be utilized by its patrons so that everyone's rights are protected.
Now you have found a method of circumventing the Library-Publisher agreement, because it makes it easier on you. Not only that, but you are encouraging others to do the same thing.
So the ones who are hurt by your process are the authors and publishers. And, if many folks start doing that, it could make publishers take a 2nd look at their library agreements and stop renewing them. If that should occur, then many library patrons would also suffer a loss.
I just wonder if you are keeping the books so long that others in your library can't get them? Our library shows how many digital copies are available and some are even on waitlist. Maybe yours is different?
I would think we want to abide by the regular rules to allow everyone a chance at the books. YMMV.

When I download a book to my PC it is within the rules and guidelines of the library. It will not be accessible after 7 days by me. I stream the book to my mp3.
