Hello Sian, the aa files from Audible are DRM protected. I think there are two ways how to play them without windows or mac. The first is to install the audible PC software into wine. I haven't tried it myself, but it is supposed to work. The link is here: http://scottlinux.com/2011/01/30/play-audible-audio-books-in-linux/ The second way is to install audible app on an android phone. Audible works on iphones, android devices, many mp3 players etc. I am audible customer for years and I really recommend it. I am totally addicted on their books :-) Wish you luck!
