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>

Subject: [real-eyes] Audible app for Android

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
