Probably most of you will not think much of it- as you have been advanced all along. This morning I down-loaded the Audible app to my Apple 4 S phone, joined the Audible.com service, and then down-loaded onto my IPhone - my first audible book (free for joining). I chose James Swanson's book Manhunt. Now i can listen to books using my phone. Until now, i have listened to audiobooks only in my car. A small step for me I know. To this date, I still don't do MP3's! Brave new world! P.S. - there still isn't anything like a book- especially an old book - yellowed by time. Oh well, onward and upward...

Bill, I just checked that site (have never heard of it), good tip. Seems you can sign up for a 30- day free trial including one free audiobook download, for which you even could choose such as the unabridged edition of "Team of Rivals" (costs $75.55 otherwise...).
I've never possessed a CD-player (still buy vinyl when available). But I do download mp3s. One advantage is eco friendliness, you can spare a lot of unnecessary waste.
