save a tree, read an e-book

My husband would choose to listen to a book any day over reading it (his ear can't hear the singing toddler around the corner). Great! That leaves space for all my books on the bookshelf and saves a few trees too.

So, last Father's Day I bought him an MP3 player (or whatever it's called), hoping that he would be able to download some books and music for those days he's shuttling kids around town or working out. When I began shopping around for audio books (no Romance Authors for us, just business books), I was shocked at what some places were charging. Call me naive, but I just assumed a digital audio book would be cheaper than a real book, but that's not always the case. Most of the places I see make you get a membership and then offer the download at a low low price. The problem with this is that I don't want to be locked into a membership with a place that doesn't always have what I'm looking for. I like to shop around. I'm going to show my husband BooksOnBoard.com and see if he can find anything. They don't charge for membership, you just download a book and you're done. Sounds like my kind of place.
