Format four on Audible is 114 megabytes per hour. Audible divides most books into six to eight segments which take from fifteen to twenty minutes to download on my DSL. Recently, I had a book (TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY) which wasn't split and took 30 minutes for about 14 hour to read. Format three takes much longer to process on the Bookport than format three on the OTIS, but the Bookport advantages far outweigh the disadvantages such as moving or finding one's place in a book and simply control. I do wish we could control the reading speed from the Bookport like we do with text files though. queens@xxxxxxxxxxx 648 Kearney Street El Cerrito, CA 94530 -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sandy Licht Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 7:41 AM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: audible downloads at 1X Sounds like something is wrong with her connection.
