abster641 is on a distinguished road
I love audible. I read a lot. No particular genre, just what ever interests me the the I go to the bookstore of the library. I read hardcopy and audiobooks. I've had a membership with audible since 2005 or so. I also download different podcasts from NPR and Engadget and listen through my Intravee in the car! I wonder why audible has such a low rating. They don't have every title but their prices are fair and on par with buying an audiobook CD at the bookstore.

I am usually reading a book in paperback and then listening to a different one on the Audiobook.

I am eager to try the Kindle but I want to wait and see if textbooks will be supported in this format. I would love some of my more technical books to be on the kindle. I am sick of paper clutter and the sheer amount of books that accumulate. I would also love to put all my cookbooks on something like a Kindle with E-Ink in color.

Some books I have read recently and really liked are:
1. Jhumpa Lahiri - Unaccustomed Earth
2. Daniel Silva - The Defector
3. Ray Bennett - The Underachiever's Manifesto (loved it)
4. Michael Pollan - In Defense of Food

Good luck!

Good luck!
