Thing 22

I have had a NetLibrary account for about seven years now. I have checked out ebooks before, but this the first time I have tried downloading an eaudiobook. I personally think a number of our patrons would just as soon check out a cd book as fool with audiobooks from NetLibrary. In the first place, you can’t bookmark NetLibrary eaudiobook on your computer. You can do this on a MP3 player as long it’s not an Ipod, which are not compatible with NetLibrary eaudiobooks. Secondly, unlike ebooks, you cannot return an audiobook before it’s due; it will stay on your computer or portable device until the due date. The only way I would checkout a NetLibrary eaudiobook is if it was the only way I could listen to a particular book.
