You can listen to audiobooks on your MP3 player

Remember books on tape?  They are now obsolete.  But MP3 players have introduced an entire new generation to the joys of listening to audiobooks using a service called Audible.com.

Audible lets you download books and transfer them to your ipod or other MP3 device. The service lets you download a certain number of audiobooks each month for a small subscription fee.  Right now, Audible is offering 2 FREE book downloads if you use this link.

Among the popular books available for download on Audible:

• The DaVinci Code
• Fast Food Nation
• What Should I Do with My Life
• and more

Another cool feature of the Audible books on tape service is the periodicals download.  You can download publications like Forbes and The New York Times and listen to them over your car stereo on the way to work.

If you are looking to upgrade your MP3 player or get your first MP3 player, you can save up to $100 by signing up as an Audible subscriber.  The discount is good on a number of players including the iPod.
