Hi, Traci, what is audiotogo? I've got something called
unabridged.lib.overdrive.com. What you do is check out a book or two from
the web site and download it on to your computer. You keep it either for a
week or two weeks at the most, then it's deleted from the computer because
it has some kind of time stamp on it. Regards, Kim.

I'm with you on the whole unnecessary book thing. When I got my new computer
back in October, I didn't redwonload what I had previously on the old one.
Now that I've gotten used to the idea that the books are going to remain
there for my downloading pleasure, I'm not apt to go downloading ten or
twenty books just because I think I will read them asap. I looked at my
history and since February of this year to this date, I have downloaded a
whopping total of six books. So go figure. Now how many books have I read
since Feb? No clue. I do audible, audiotogo, I purchase books and scan them
when its something I really want and I borrow books from the library here. I
just got a new machine ordered for me today so I'm really excited about
that!
