As someone else indicated, you can only play format 4 files on the Book
Port. I wish it would handle other formats, since some books (especially
older ones) simply aren't available in format 4.
You can't convert format 4 books into another format (or vice-versa), but
once you've bought a book from Audible, it remains in the "Read Programs"
section of your library and can be downloaded again and again at no charge
in any format in which it's available.

Hi guys,
I have an audible.com question or two. Will the book port only play format
4? Also is there a way to change the formats of some of the books i have in
myy library in audible or am i stuck with the one's chosen. Most of my
formatted books are 2 or 3. Naturally, i would like to switch them to 4.
If I cannot do this i can order two books and format them to 4. Currently,
i am reading the Promethius Deception by Robert Ludlum on format 4 in book
port and, it is just great.
