One note about playing books from iTunes with the Audible app, the order of the tracks are all messed up. I have checked out two different books that I had imported from CD; they play in order in the native music app and the Bookmark app, but the Audible app completely scrambles the order. It isn't even in alphabetical order. I haven't quite figured out what it is doing, but it is not using the track numbers. Otherwise, I rather like the new Audible app. Later,
