AtD on disk -

[Albert Rolls]

I got AtD earlier this year, when Audible was allowing new members to get some number of books for free--3, I think, but Atd counted as 2--but couldn't, if I recall properly, load more than one file on an mp3 player until I converted the Audible file. I saved it on a external hard drive and on the mp3 player,so I don't know about putting it on CDs. So long as it fits on one mp3 player and the files are on the harddrive, I'm not too concerned about having Cds.

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.
