A Great Find!

I love audiobooks and have spent a lot of time downloading audio CD's to my computer and then my Ipod. It can be pretty time consuming. Much to my delight I've found a website where you can download complete audiobooks for free. It is the Utah Pioneer Library http://www.pioneer.utah.gov and you sign up through your local library. The books are "checked out" for like 3 weeks and you can download them to an MP3 player and just delete them when you're done. It's great. It only takes a few minutes to download a whole book. I listen to an audiobook going to and from work and while I'm doing my housework. They have an amazing selection of audiobooks.

The only downside is that it is not Ipod compatible so I had to buy an MP3 player just for that. I got a 4 GB Creative Zen. It took a bit of experimenting to figure out how it works, but it works well and is smaller than my ipod.

Awwww. You HAD to buy an MP3 player. Man - that stinks! hahahaha! 4GB?!? Wow. That oughta hold an audio book ... or 4. Sweet. Looks awesome.

I'm really excited about the audiobook site find!! Tyler loves to listen to books while he's in the car. And - I think I might start listening to books while I exercise. Ya think it might boost my motivation? Hope so. Love you!
