So, I recently finished an audio book called The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I really liked this book and the author narrated the audio book and had a great voice. I started looking into her more, and she wrote a memoir called Lucky. I searched to see what was available and audio book format came up. I was not able to find it on a digital download, but figured I could just load the cds and add to the iPod manually. I picked it up yesterday (took about a week because they transferred it from Clarksville library).
I was excited to get home and transfer it to my iPod, BUT, I opened the case up and for some reason I had this worry in my head that these were cassettes because the way the box was shaped, not cd like....uh oh, I opened it, and it was this little gadget where you plug headphones into. Weird? I have never seen this...and I was bummed I would not be able to load this on the my iPod, no possible way to get the content out and into my cool iPods, oh well, I now have to carry another gadget around when listening to this book. I need a belt for my gadgets!
I am ok with this for now, but will now keep an eye out if there are details on specific formats when they list "audio book." I still like reading normal books too, as some books I put on my wish list about real estate and investing. Right now my normal books I am reading are Cramer's Getting Back to Even and The Dew Breaker (borrowed from Dana). I switch depending what I am in the mood for. So that's what I am up to on the reading front...and am trying not to buy books, only library, hell, I pay for it already!
