I was referring to the poster who back dated get device and has 70 books? Also dont want to get too far off topic and get the thread locked!! BTW my library automatically deletes them off my device in 3 weeks.

I love having a book on the Ipod! I have had a little trouble accessing from I Tunes though... I'm sure it's something I'm not doing correctly, since I was able to download a couple books but, can't now. I'll keep at it....

Love it, love it. I use my Ipod and Audiobooks all the time when I quilt. As mentioned Itunes sells audio books. I belong to Audible.com and they do 1 book per month for about $15/month.
I have a Ipod touch 14 GB model, but the 8 would be fine.

For my friends who have no idea what my other friends have been saying here -

You can listen to CD Books from the library on a RCA CD player. You put in one CD at a time, in the top of a little clock radio player. 6" X 7" X 3"
It has speakers that you can hear from across the room or down the hall.
About $ 30.

Our library has audio books that come on an MP3 player type of thing they give you the whole thing when you check it out. I have only used it once but it works pretty well
