I was thinking of buying an external hard drive, but I wanted..." We had a huge number of audiobooks on our hard drive from Audible (built up over time). When my computer slowed down I realized that Audible has a record of them all (in the cloud?) and after deleting them from our hard drive, any time we want a book we can get it back from Audible for free (because it is ours, we bought it).

We also like Audible and have belonged for years now. Our list of books are stored on our hard drive. We have had several different MP3 players and have received excellent help by phone with Audible as we figured out how to get them working. Highly recommended. We have also found that deals Audible offers are well worth buying.

I went out for a walk in our neighborhood one night after dinner and a guy drove up beside me in his car, rolled the window down and yelled, "Where the hell have you been? You've been gone for three hours!" My husband usually is more understanding as he listens to books on tape too. I just got a new Sansa Fuze and am reading "Marine One." That night it was Jane Austen's "Persuasion."
