Hi, Audible has a good deal on Otis -free with a one year commitment. But I've been advised to spend $30 - $50 to get a used Rio 500 instead. Has anyone on the...
Hi Henry, I have both, and they're both pretty good. The Otis is a little smaller. If you're going to be playing MP3's as well, there's no doubt: go for the...
Hi all, Returning to book themes to avoid the wrath of those who dislike technical discussions :) A couple of months ago I asked about Patrick O'Brian's...
I have both and use both, but prefer the Otis. The Rio 500 limits you to format 1 - which I find too low quality to make listening enjoyable or format 4 -...
Well, I'm struggling through master and commander read by Patrick Tull. At the time I bought it, they didn't have both. I wish I'd known they were going to...

I had requested Cold Mountain from audible about 6 months ago. I got an email today letting me know that it now available. I had actually read this about 5...
I read this on UK talking book about 6 months ago and absolutely loved it! I'm afraid this is another case where the film is bound to ruin the book! Cheers. ...

... But ... there ... I have both and use both all the time. I like the Rio 500 for audible files since it plays level 4, which I prefer, and the Otis only...
I don't think I said they were pretty good. I haven't read them. I began the first one, unabridged, read by Patrick Tull. I don't think I finished it. I...
I'm listening to Alexandre Dumas' "The Black Tulip" read by John Bolen. And I'm having a hard time with it. I've started over again about 5 times now. I...
Barry, Thought you might find this interesting. Mark FYI-- I think you'll find this interesting. I found it in GuruNet: "William the Silent (Encyclopedia)"...
It was probably me who said the series was fantastic, which in my not at all humble opinion ..it is! I'm not sure I'm going to like the narrator ..but I like...

... Thanks. I took a look but I don't want to pay for the information when I can find plenty of sites about him. I did a Google search the other day and found...
Barry, Whoops, sorry about that - didn't realize Gurunet would only send you the abbreviated version and require payment for the rest. I paid for Gurunet a ...

My experience is that the Otis is much more reliable than the Rio, has better features for Audible books (I don't play MP3 music files at all), and is much ...
I have enjoyed seeing the recommended books so much I felt obliged to provide my own. Non-Fiction The Dream of Reason Salt Hannibal The Measure of All Things ...
Those are good and useful descriptions. Thanks. I think reviews on Audible are a lot less useful than short or even long descriptions and opinions here since...
I want to thank everyone who has shared their experiences with the Otis & Rio. I didn't mean to pull the list off-topic--I didn't realize there is some sort of...
