Downloadable books

I explored the sites about downloadable books and I have the same feeling about them as Eileen. I get too bored just listening...I have to get up and start doing something else. The thing is that everything else is too noisy so I can't hear the reader when I do that. I think I would like them in the car but I would have to be alone...some folks have to talk you know. And I don't go anywhere by myself that I would have a chance to listen to a whole book. I'm thinking this earphone thing on the mp3 might solve those barriers though. There is no excuse for boredom. Ever.
