I don't think the pac mate is audible ready. It isn't listed as one of their devices, though the book port and book courier are. Audible makes their files so they can only be played on certain players. I'm hoping for that to be one of the future improvements to the BN. the MP3 players you get with membership in audible don't seem to hold out too well. well, the two I've received have died in less than a year, anyway. I'd rather not buy something like a book courier, when I already have a braille note.

So far I have only managed to find a few, and the rest I have had to make for myself bby allowing a book to play on my computer while I record it into an MP3 file. This seems really the long way roun, but the few books I've done it with weren't able to just convert directly.Seems expensive and time consuming though. It would really be nice if Humanware could talk to Audible.com and do whatever it is to allow the braillenote series to read the audible.com books directly. That would give a huge library of audio books. > > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote > > ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
