Audio Book Mp3 Players
A friend has an iPod Nano (4GB) and LOVES IT! Currently they have @ 15 books on it that average 9 CDs each and it takes up 2.5 GB. I personally use the Sony NW Mp3 player really cool looking but the software SonicStage is very awkward to use. However I got mine for $175 and it has 20GB storage, much better value than any iPod ;-)
So look around before you purchase but anything above 1Gb should be ok to get started. After all you can only listen to one book at a time ;-)

The Future is Audiobooks
My book of the day is a topic dear to my heart Example: Climb
"Listen & Live's Adrenaline Series is one of the best in the genre". - The Denver Post
Year after year, climbers return to the world's most difficult mountains. At these places, even the most cautious climber is vulnerable to mistakes, bad weather and bad luck, which often leads to death. This collection offers harrowing accounts of extreme mountaineering and its potentially fatal consequences.

One of my recommendations is this wonderful detective novel Book of the Dead, The in fact I was even late into work the other day as I could not stop till I got to the end of the chapter.
New world of audiobooks
I have been getting more into the idea of fiction audiobooks lately. I’d listened to a couple before, on long car trips at night, but wasn’t really “hooked” or anything. Recently, though, I found the Achemist
This story, dazzling in its simplicity and wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named
. Well, I couldn’t let that go without a try. I listened to it and then purchased 3 more– mainly in the evenings while lying down with my cat and at the gym when doing the light exercises.
It’s really convenient and entertaining, and I’m loving it! I’m not sure to what I’ll listen next, now that I’ve finished these ones but you need a good narrator and a well crafted story.
You know, it’s a new concept for me, this integrated realm of books and radio and television, where they exist beside each other without one being “the cheap version” of the other. For example in radio plays, books, movies, and the TV series, and they’re all accepted, apparently. Who knew? This wasn’t part of my upbringing; I’m only discovering the tip of the iceberg now, and it’s baffling but wonderful. The good part about being late to the fiction party is that there’s plenty to catch up on! I have been reading factual, learning audiobooks for some time.

iPod creates specialist markets for audiobooks; racy titles flourish.
The two were in a recording studio near
That same afternoon, in a studio a few blocks away Julie Fain Lawrence, was recording Simply Sexy, a Harlequin title by Carly Phillips.
Kidder and Oppenheim's philosophical musings might appear to have little in common with Phillips' bodice-ripper. But the audiobooks share one trait: They are both being released exclusively in a downloadable format.
When finished next month they will be available only to mouse clickers on Audible.com, one of several Internet sites featuring digital audio versions of books, periodicals and spoken-word content.
Unlike onscreen e-books, downloadable audiobooks have taken off, driven by the explosive popularity of the iPod.
Because of lower production costs, titles that a few years ago would not have had audio versions at all are now being recorded; the decision is based largely on projected hardcover sales. And if they prove popular enough as downloads, some of those productions eventually will be made into three-dimensional audiobooks.
The audio versions of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential and the New Yorker writer Susan Orlean's Orchid Thief were both first available only to downloaders. Only after both hardcovers performed well - Orlean's book was made into a movie (Adaptation), and Bourdain's inspired A Cook's Tour, his celebrity chef show on the Food Network - were both books rolled onto CDs.
In 2002, when Three Junes by Julia Glass was published, "we hadn't originally bought audio rights and we didn't plan to," said Madeline McIntosh, publisher of Random House Audio Group. "Then in the 11th hour, word came through that the book had been selected for the Today show book club and was going to get a lot of visibility."
The publisher scrambled to record the book and put it on Audible. It sold on the site exclusively until a year later, when Random House released a physical version of the audiobook concurrent with the paperback.
With virtually no promotional budgets, audiobook publishers rely on riding the coattails of the print version's publicity, marketing and advertising. So while the success of a download-only title on hear-now-audio-books.com is a factor in determining whether to release a CD, publishers still link that decision more closely to hardcover sales.
Two Penthouse magazine books, Between the Sheets: A Collection of Erotic Bedtime Stories and 26 Nights: A Sexual Adventure, were released in download-only audio versions in 2002. But like the books' temptresses, they have had long legs. Sales remained so brisk that in 2006 Between the Sheets was the bestselling download-only title . Four years after they were first recorded, Random House Audio released both titles on CD.
With seven of the top 10 download-only sellers on some audiobook sites in the erotica genre, the company has been a trailblazer in the category.
"We can tell our children that we helped to spawn the audio erotica industry," Beth Anderson, the publisher of Audible, said with a laugh. "We started it not necessarily because we wanted to be in the erotica business, but because it seemed like a niche that wasn't being filled."
When Audible started nine years ago, "porn" and "sex" were popular Web search terms, even more so than now. So as an Internet company, Audible chose to offer racy titles. It now has hundreds of briskly selling erotica offerings, most available only as downloads, and increasingly geared toward women, including the "Herotica" series edited by the sex guru Susie Bright.
"One of the things that makes erotica sell better for us than other places is that when you're on the subway listening to your iPod, no one knows whether you're listening to The Wall Street Journal or a Penthouse book,"
An added advantage: With a book on an iPod, there is nothing to hide under the mattress.
