I don't know if this is true or not, but someone said on another list that
it takes more processing power to play format 3 books. I don't know if
that would apply to the BP.

The ability to use format three as a second option for Audible would be okay as it would be much faster to download from Audible and process through the Transfer software. I would not give up under any circumstances BP's navigation features which makes necessary the use of the time consuming phrase marking features.
We had two OTIS reading devices from Audible before getting our two BP's. It probably took a third of the time, but the navigation feature was barely doable. We never went back to use them after getting the BP.
By the way, I would give such a feature a low priority as the two GB card will hold several format four Audible books easily. With multitasking you can download and transfer books and read your email at the same time during a thirty to 45 minutes it takes to download a two-part book .

But you can't transfer format 2 Audible books to the BP.
