Audiobooks come in many different formats, including MP3, CD and tape. aa is somewhat problematic and I don't kno wwhat can read it. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/audible-com-aa-sound-format-on-linux-350452/ I think that my Daisy Player can, but at £250 before VAT, those with sight might prefer another format/means of playback. audible.com is very Linux unfriendly. When I tried to download my free aa file, 2 or 3 years ago, it wouldn't even download onto Linux!! I am sure that there are sites for the fully sighted to download audio books, but I'm afraid that I don't know of any. I get my audio books variously from the local library, two audiobook readers groups to which I belong, and 2 excellent charitable sites for the blind and partially sighted. I get them on 'normal' CDs and tape, MP3 CDs and Daisy CDs. I could download them, but don't because there are always problems with Linux and DRM or similar and I Iike an easy life.
