Hi Emma,
The N70 is quite an old phone now. On the new 3rd generation phones, such
as the N91, the battery life is much improved.
By the way, Audible Air is fully accessible with Talks too, so the Audible
experience is great.
All the best

I've been to the Audible Air website and the N70 isn't listed as one of the
phones you can download software for. What is the battery life like on the
N91? The N70 is awful - or mine is at least.
