However: The Braillenote might be made to work as an audible ready device. This could probably be done with minor software modifications. The Bookport can do it, as can many MP3 players.

I am pretty bummed about this too but I have been in touch with the people at Audible and they say there is no way to change their files to regular mp3 format to use in a non supported player. They do support lots of mp3 players but not the Braille Note. Maybe Humanware will work something out with them before too long. It is a great service except who has time to sit at the computer and listen to a book? I don't like making CD's of the books either but that is an option too. Hope this is some help.
