AtD on disk -

[Erik T. Burns]

Yeah, i listened to J R and The Recognitions on an iPad using iTunes.

You could burn it to cds but each book is >50 hours long' meaning it will take 20 cds or so.

I assume AtD is the same length, more or less.

Meanwhile, hey audible, if you're listening, why not make the books a bit easier to get around in? Both Gaddis books woukd benefit from having 30-minute chunks identified by page numbers of one of the standard texts - penguin or something. Thick fingers on the dial (or fiddling with the iPad while driving, as i do) and you can get lost.

If you have a Kindle or some device that you can download the audible file onto, I guess you're good but I don't think a CD player will do.
