Thanks for the suggestion!<BR/><BR/>As for not returning books on time - oy, do I know that feeling. Luckily, in Arlington they've gotten pretty good about sending out e-mail to you when you have a couple days left. <BR/><BR/>Another way to look at late fees is this: as one librarian explained, anytime you pay a fine for a late book you are actually supporting the library. So, she said, be as late as you want.Ben Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09833753747177544979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-66853887374961513192007-02-23T13:32:00.000-05:002007-02-23T13:32:00.000-05:00I love audiobooks.

And even here in Miami, the library rocks, I simply go to the online site, request/place a hold on a book, and it is quickly transfered to my local library where I can go pick it up with out having to actually go through the stacks. The only problem I have is remembering to return them on time (speaking of which I need to renew them online, probably yesterday). Here we too have overdrive books and other eBook formats including PDF and mobi for use with PDAs. The only down-side to the Overdrive format is that it is based on WMA. I use a mac at work and a linux box at home... no WMA. Everything I've read about Overdrive is that you need to burn them to CD and then rip them in as a MP3 to get them on your MP3 player. Good luck and have fun.NickChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247600634502111298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-7221488532250016512007-02-23T12:43:00.000-05:002007-02-23T12:43:00.000-05:00EXCITING NOVELS WITH MUSIC AND SOUNDS It is the ea...<B> EXCITING NOVELS WITH MUSIC AND SOUNDS </B><BR/><BR/>It is the easiest way to download audio books, audio books on CD, MP3 audio books.
