Hi all, A week or two ago somebody mentioned that there is some sort of restriction on accessing Audible from outside North America, or possibly just Europe....

I have heard a rumor that Audible is replacing the Otis player very soon now. I have a Rio-500 which is still working great, but I was hoping to be able to...
I had heard of that about 6 months ago, but have never seen anything. Have you actually tried an Otis? My wife and I both have them and are quite satisfied....
... that ... This is the first I've heard of it. Where did you hear it and just what did you hear? As for the Otis, I think it's an excellent player. I hope...
Not to mention, that for me, as a blind person, the Otis is the most accessible player of its kind that i've ever seen. Sherry ... From: Mark Holmes...

Thanks for reminding me. I was going to send a request, too. Don't lose heart--Audible adds a Terry Pratchett book about every 2 months on average and I don't...
The 41 hours wasn't too long for you? I've listened to John Adams which was about 30 and found that fabulous, but it did take quite awhile. Just wondered how...
fantastic. I'm a grate lover in really long books. I love the lord of the rings which I think is well over 41 hours. If the book is well written the time flies...
I'm actually tempted by this book partly because of its length. Last year I read The Company by Robert Littell, about the same length. It's a book that has...

I was tempted to get Pompeii because I enjoy good historical novels that aren't sappy romances. But I decided not to because the last couple of Harris books I...
There was no chase scenes in Pompeii, unless you might consider trying to repair an aqueduct a "chase against time". :) I enjoyed the combination of history...
