Downloading is by far the most convenient approach to your audiobooks subscription. There's no waiting for mail deliveries or availability of popular titles, no scratched or dirty discs, and you can download audiobooks as often as you need. In addition, downloaded audiobooks are easier to manage on your computer and mp3 player/iPod/iPhone and include chapter breaks and bookmarking capabilities. Finally, when you download a book, it's yours to keep. This is ideal for those who want to build their digital library and like to reread their favorites. And you can always go back to your online library and download titles again and again at no additional charge.
How can I tell if an audio book is abridged or unabridged?
The audio book is in Unabridged format if the book title contains the word "Unabridged" immediately following the title. If the word "Unabridged" does not appear after the title, it was recorded in Abridged format.Is my device supported?
We work very closely with manufacturers of all devices in an attempt to have all of them compatible. As technology evolves it is our goal to have all portable devices manufactured be able to play the files.
