Is it cheap, or comparative shopping?

I agree. That's why I have memberships with NLS, Bookshare, Learning Ally,
Audible, and Google Books. If I can get the book from NLS, I will. If not,
then I look to the pay services. I like having the options, including free
ones. Go ahead, call me cheap. <grin>

You had better watch those kinds of statements, you will get classified as
cheap. if you don't watch it.
I say. what is wrong with utilizing our library's? I know a lot of sighted
people that frequent their local libraries just because they are free.

I've been using the app for the iPhone. I agree, it's a good way to read.
Unfortunately, it's more expensive than NLS. <grin>

I installed the Audible app for Android today and its wonderful.
I simply signed in with my username and password and my library of books,
only one so far was there on the screen. I selected the book and pressed the
enter key on my keyboard.
It gave me a warning about downloading via a wireless carrier and I checked
the box to not warn me again.
I got progress updates on downloading the book to my phone and once it was
done, pressed enter on the book again and I found buttons for play,
bookmarks, book info etc..
I pressed enter on play and the book started playing. The play button
changed to a pause button. I paused the book and came back to it a few hours
later and had no problem resuming from where I left off.
Shopping for a book doesn't seem to work as well but I can easily go to the
audible.com web site, purchase a book and then open the app and it will be
in my library.
A very nice way to listen to books,
Steve
