Most of what I read on the BN is web braille. The BN isn't audible compatible yet, though I hope sincerely for that someday in the future! I was given a large MP3 audio book recently, and I'd asked if it could be played on the media player, which it can. I think for now, bookshare, web braille and normal MP3 books are all you can do on the BN, but that is a considerable amount of books available.
