Hi Lynnette, I believe all you need is to have Audible Manager on your laptop and you are good to go. It needs to be installed and activated in order to download books. You can find it on this link. http://audible.com/adbl/store/audibletogo.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes You would then use Book Port Transfer to find the c:\program files\audible\programs\downloads to get to your Audible books. From what I have heard on the list there is no need to activate Book Port in order to use Audible, but this was before I activated my BP through Book Port Transfer.
