I agree. it really hurts to fork out that $220, or whatever it is all at once, but getting twentyfour credits for under $10 a credit isn't to shabby. I tried to install the emusic program, and it wouldn't take. Now I have windows service pack 2, might try again, but they're going to get pretty upset if i keep signing up and unsigning again.

I am a member of Audible.com and can only afford to purchase two books a month from them which, depending on the length of the book, I devour in a week or so. This info you have given us will certainly go a long way to enhance my reading experience and pleasure.Thanks again, Maria----- Original Message ----- From: "albert griffith" <albertgriffith@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, October 19, 2007 4:02 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: New Audio Book Site and NO D R MTheir prices are quite low as well. $10 average. -----Original Message-----From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Don Bomer (Tex) Sent: Friday, October 19, 2007 11:37 AM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] New Audio Book Site and NO D R M Greetings, I ran across this today and thought it was pertinent to BookPort users: "eMusic fights Audible with DRM-free books Online music retailer eMusictoday revealed that it will begin selling audiobooks through its web-based portal, potentially upturning the traditionally closed-off digital audiobook industry. Reflecting the company's existing approach to albums and songs,eMusic will sell a selection of books in MP3 format. This will allowvirtually any computer or handheld to play the files regardless of format support and will let users copy songs freely -- a break from books offered at Audible, iTunes, and similar stores, which often apply copy-protection toeach song." There is more to the article. You may read it in it's entirety at <http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/09/17/emusic.audiobooks/>.So, it looks like we can now purchase less expensive and unprotected Audiobooks. The eMusic audio books page is at <http://www.emusic.com/audiobooks/index.html>. Regards, Don... -- No virus found in this incoming message.
