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!

Just read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, at the poolside on vacation. Then I read Blink, but it was too short and light. I have a Warren Buffet biography, The Snowball, in the pile, but I think I will reread Good to Great first, and then start New Lessons from Dead CEOs. Yes, I read. Can't imagine audiobooks, I would rather hold a real book. I tried one once, but didn't get in to it.

Try doing both. Very interesting results.

Duh! my sister accuses me of "wallpapering" my bathroom & bedroom with books (if she only knew how high they are stacked in my bedroom in Idaho!)

my friend's daughter thought she would do great on her ACTs and was disappointed her boyfriend scored 4 points higher. both are very smart, but the first thing I said to the boyfriend was, "you read alot". he looked at me with surprise and said, "yes". With her very busy schedule, reading was not something Holly did.

I have been a customer of Audible for many years (since at least 2005). I have found their service to be excellent. A couple of times I have had glitches (usually changing to a new device), and when I called their CS, they fixed the glitch immediately. The software has improved over the years, as well. Since I am now downloading to an iPod, they integrate into iTunes, which is nice. If they asked me, I would give Audible 5 stars.

I read a LOT, I've been on a biography kick lately, Hearst, Einstein, Morgan, Chrysler, Ben Franklin, Houdini... I'm reading Lou Holtz' book right now and Ben Hogan's "how to" book for golf.

Anyone here a Terry Pratchett fan?
