Karma: 9 Offline Gender: Posts: 377	Becoming hooked on audiobooks  ( on: May 06, 2010, 09:26:57 AM) Recently I found this site www.audible.com.   It is so neat.   There are tons of romance audiobooks both historical and contemps to choose from and then conveniently it can be uploaded to iTunes.   After listening to the audio I then delete  it from my iTunes account and replace it with another.   It makes walking around  with the iPod in my ear so more relaxing.   In the past when walking I was always noting the time.   Now I am so involved listening to the audiobook that I have done the 1-2 miles around the neighborhood  or 45  minute  time on the treadmill with ease.

Which ones have you listened to Laurel? And you just delete then when you're done Helen? It seems like a waste, lol. I'd love to try one, I just don't know if there's anything I'd like. Logged
