Yes! The San Diego City Library uses Overdrive Media for audio downloads, with a 21-day checkout. Pretty awesome. Unfortunately, the selection is not as up-to-date as I can get with Audible.

Instead of buying books from Audible, did you know that most public libraries now offer free downloadable books over the ‘net totally free??? Check out your library’s catalog. You’re looking for E-Zone Digital Downloads. I’m a huge fan of public libraries as well as the technology coordinator of a school district.

This looks interesting. The “no syncing” part seems ideal. However, there still is nothing like the feel of a real book in your hands. Sorry, Will

Sony ereader is about $100 less. Maybe when the price comes down.

I’ve always resisted the notion of exchanging paper books for plastic literature. However, the Kindle almost makes me want to make that leap.
Nick Senger compares the Kindle to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and goes on to suggest intriguing education applications on Teen Literacy Tips.
I’m tempted.
