Hi Melody: The Book Port supports Format 4 with Audible, which are, in fact, MP3 files, so there is less conversion that has to be done. Sending times will vary, depending on the size of the book, of course, but it should be less than what you are doing there.

Then it ends up on the Book Port. Actually, all stages happen on the Book Port. Can anyone tell me if the download process is as long when using Audible? Does the Book Port convert Audible books in to MP3 format? Thanks. Melody.
