She is wondering what will be available for her when we start semi full-timing. I have found a few websites that offer audio book downloads. She thought the Cracker Barrel had a Book program. How do you handle audio book situations? lap527 • View posts Ocala, Florida Senior Member Joined: 09/29/2003 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/13/09 06:11pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator podiobooks.com is a free site and they have some pretty good books. They have different genres and reviews. 2006 Dodge 3500 dually 4X4 / 2006 290EFS Cougar FW / 2006 Jeep Wrangler X Trailer Hauling (2) 2009 Harleys, Heritage and Deluxe Or Gone Fishing - 2002 17' Carolina Skiff 75HP Yamaha 4 Stroke.

Audible.com has a great selection, although it is not a free service.

DW gets hers on Ebay and has been happy with her purchases. She will collect up a bunch after we have used them and resell them on EBAY... Also have found some at various thrift stores.... robbins1 • View posts maine Senior Member Joined: 04/25/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Posted: 09/14/09 08:06am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I used to use the Cracker Barrel program, last time was about 4 years ago. I loved it. Sadly, there aren't any Cracker Barrels up here in Maine,no hash brown casserole either. randco • View posts Sarasota, Florida Senior Member Joined: 06/03/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/14/09 12:29pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Thanks to all of you for your replies.

I think they still let you rent in any location and drop off in another. Leo Benson • View posts CT Senior Member Joined: 04/30/2003 View Profile Posted: 10/31/09 12:50pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I have been using audible.com for years. You can download the audible files to your ipod, your Blackberry or Palm, and even some TomTom GPS models. Via TomTom, you can broadcast the book over your vehicle radio. You can do this too with devices that connect your blackberry or ipod to your tape player. You can also access your on-line bookshelf via your blackberry and download the book directly, otherwise, you load to your device via your comuter/laptop. I like playing the book over my TomTom because the voice directions and the book are coordinated- when the TomTom needs to speak directions, the book pauses, so they are not both "talking" at the same time. But I'm alone in the car for that. If I was with others, I'd probably use a different device with earbuds, unless everyone wanted to listen to my book.

I've got hundreds of books in my electronic bookshelf now, but no clutter. For the same reason, I also use e-reader. I download books to my Blackberry or Treo and read them on the device screen. I can carry a dozen books right on my phone. Nothing to take up extra room in my briefcase. I can read in the dark without a light. I can change the font size. It did not take long to get used to reading on the small screen, and I'm an avid reader. It's at ereader.com and the prices are quite good- most of the books I buy are under $7- less than a paperback at the grocery store. Public libraries are now starting to offer these electronic books- both the audible and print style, so check with your library. You can even access them from home without having to go into the library to do the download.
