Hey guys, my middle grade treasure hunt adventure is part of the audible sale for $4.95 (even less for members). The sale inspired me to make this trailer for the audiobook. Check it out on youtube (and give it a "like" if you like it)

Just wanted to mention, anyone who is a memeber at Audible there having daily deals till December 23. So check in everyday, there might be something on your wish list and on sale.

Today's Deal: Book-to-Movie Adaptations for $5.95 each

I get most of my audio books from my public library, just download them to my PC & put them on my MP3 player for my commute. Depending on who the library is using, the selection can vary, but mine all seem to use a 3d party to get books from. Getting set up on the systems can be a bit of a hassle, but once done, it's as easy as logging in to the catalog.

I get my notifacations for Kindle books at low prices here...

http://ereadernewstoday.com/bargain-a...

Like these guys on face book and you get 3-5 notices a day with low priced E-books on Amazon.

Of course, this is actually the Audio-book thread so... oops... my bad... (Close door, shout) Navigator, it's time for you to do a cranial rectal removal exercise! (open door)

Yes, I love the 150 books on the $4.95 list at Audibile.com.

So I went to the library and got the audio book for "Savages." The hardcopy was checked out, so I thought I'd give this a try. I wanted to read it before the movie arrived on Netflix. I had already read Winslow's "Kings of Cool" and loved it. I read that on Kindle and ending up liking Winslow's quirky style and punctuation.

So I made it through half of the audio book. The reader actually did a pretty good job. Only the fairly graphic sex scenes were a bust -- even with the guy "doing" all the voices. The "Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh" parts were a bit disconcerting.

Now I'll wait for the movie. I'm sure it will be hysterical.

Hey, thanks, Hugh. And what's this new picture you got. I think I liked the scary bear better.

For anyone who is interested in reading January's nominated book. . It's on sale for $1.99 today only at Audible.com

Oh, by the way, here are the instructions for how to copy an audio book from Audible.com to CD if you don't have one of those fancy-shmancy hot dog dumb-assed smart phones (like mine).

http://audible.custhelp.com/app/answe...

buying a audiobook from Audibile.com is just like buying an E-book. You have to respect copywrites for both the material and the system it's sold and used with, but you own the book.

Thanks, good to know Hugh! I have a smart phone and sometimes I wish I could just throw in a CD and listen that way.

It'll go through a lot of CDs but basically you use the Apple iTunes program and you can copy any of them at about 80 minutes pers CD.

For anyone who is a member of Audible and hasn't read the Monster Hunter International series, there all on sale at Audible for $6.95 for the next 48 hours.

All but the last Hounded (Iron Druid) series is on sale also at Audible.com. That's 1 through 4.5. Book five lists at just under $20.

What do you play your audible books on? I have a Samsung galaxy player 5.0 but there were so many problems trying to get audible to recognize the device that I cancelled my short 1 day membership. I had audible set up on my main computer but for some reason when I plugged in the player it wouldn't recognize it. Was on the phone with them 3 times and about 2 hours later cancelled.

I listen on my droid phone I think its a Motorola RAZR Maxx. Whatever it is it works great.

Thanks Travis, the battery life on my htc phone is terrible so I didn't want to set it up on that. do most people use their phones to listen to audiobooks?

I've found a wonderful, if small, anthology of short stories that they gave away free at Audibile.com

Metatropolis

In Session by M.J. Rose

The Sagan Diary by John Scalzi


All of these turned out to be great!

I listened to audiobooks on Apple Nano (when I bought them at rediculous prices) and now I listen on my Phone, which is also a Razr Maxx.

I use a simple handsfree device when in the car so it comes through my radio (and allows me to charge my phone while I listen) and when walking the dog, I use a bluetooth headset.

(I also listen to text to speach with a GoGROOVE Bluetooth transmitter that plugs into the "earpiece" jack and becomes bluetooth to my bluetooth headset.
When I'm home getting ready for work, I skip the headset and let use a single "Bluetooth" speaker. while I iron clothes for the day, shower, shave and dress. All Items except the phone I found on Amazon.com at a reasonable price (for me).

Thanks very much for the info. I never thought of a blue tooth anything. I was stuck in the earbud era and I noticed my phone had no plug for an earpiece. So I was at a loss. haha. Will definitely look into something like that. Just have to tackle the fast draining battery issue. Thanks.

Razr Maxx has an extended life battery. If I'm good about charging it while I drive and listen, or having it plugged in when it's near the charger and I'm listening at home, the batter almost never goes down past 75% full charge.

When I forget to charge it, I don't change my routine and the battery might get down as low as 25%.

I'm a believer in the Razr Maxx. When I had a lesser phone. I purchased a battery that I could keep charging, then when the phone was low, I unplug it from the car charger and plug it into my phone. It worked great. It even recharged my phone if I wasn't using it.

Mostly I just use the speaker on my phone itself. Ear buds don't work for me as I am around a lot of noisy machinery in which case I use noise cancelling headphones I had a pair of Bose which I wore out and replaced with beatz by Dr dre. Which I like better for 1. They cancel out more noise than the Bose and 2. They are blue tooth

I love my blue tooth so much I have 2. One for my Kindle when I do text-to-speech because my family doesn't always want to hear what I'm reading. I also have one for my phone (Samsung note II) for my audio books. It's made life so much easier.

Yea, I used to use the speaker on the phone, but I've found the single stand alone bluetooth speaker (which I originally bought because the Kindle speakers were hard for me to hear and used the transmitter) allows me to lave my phone charging and carry the speaker around with me (if I'm not going too far). It's also louder with more of a range in sound production.

My car has a lot of "road noise" that drowns out my speaker on the phone itself so I use a bluetooth hands free device, or the aux jack (if available) to get more speaker power.

Which Bluetooth do you have?

I've been using Motorola BT headphones for years, but they break too easily.

Peace, Seeley

This is the Headset That I Currently use. GoGroove Athletic.

I got a better deal than this, but the price has gone up. It's behind the neck, and clamps over the ears, it's sealed up to make it water resistant and the tips are angled to keep them in your ears. I've used a lesser version, and it performed fine for me. I upgraded on the old, you take mine, I'll get another pair deal :) with my wife.

This is the transmitter that I use (there are others). This is what I plug into my kindle earphone jack to turn it into a bluetooth capable device. Again this price is higher than what I paid.

Bluetooth Transmitter

This works with the hand's free device in my car, my bluetooth speaker and anything with an earphone jack. I've had three different bluetooth headsets (all still functional) and the transmitter has worked with all of them as well as the hands free device for the car.

The prices are higher than what I payed. I'm not sure why that is.

Gee guys, this was a really good explanation for me. I really appreciate it and am going to look into it. Thank you so much. Maybe I will even be able to join audible and actually download an audio book next time.
