I'll reply to this as a general post, since others may wonder about it also.
With Audible.com's new format, your library will appear on pages containing
something like ten entries each. Each downloadable file is equipped with a
check box in case you wish to download multiple files simultaneously, and a
single Download Now button appears at the bottom of the page. By default,
the largest filesize is pre-selected for download, and that means Format
Four in most cases. If you have trouble downloading multiple files, make
sure your pop-up blocker is turned off. You'll find that option on your web
browser's tools menu. Also, for those of you who enjoy podcasts, some of
your Audible purchases are now available as podcasts.
The new layout will look complicated initially, but it's actually quite
simple. The format choices for each file are selectable in combo boxes, but
again, if you're choosing Format Four and you know your title is available
in that format, it's the default selection. All in all, you need only check
the boxes for the files you wish to download and press Enter on the Download
button. For those of us who have become accustomed to seeing a Download
button for each entry, a little adjustment in modality will be required, but
the new layout is actually quite streamlined. Personally, I'd like to have
more entries per page, but that wouldn't be feasible since only so many
files can be cued for download. It took me three or four days to really
begin to like the new system, but it works very well. Screen readers are
somewhat cryptic about describing the table elements, but once you find the
few crucial ones the layout won't be bothersome.

Subject: [bookport] trouble with new audible.com layout
Could someone write to me off-line if they are successfully indicating format 4 and downloading books under the new layout at audible? Also, if you know of an audible list, could someone send that to me, thank you.
