    Audible, Its a great resource, they don't always have what I'm looking for, but most of the time they do.

    I get mine from Audible. I don't do "i" anything! They go on my Creative mp3 player. They have almost everything I have looked for.

    I get audiobooks from the library, itunes or audible.com. I prefer audible, however, it gets expensive the way I go through credits!

    I get most of my audiobooks from audible, they work out the cheapest. For the books not available due to copyright technicalities I use the local book store and order on CD, a very pricey alternative. Naxos also has some nice versions of some classics which I like.

    I get what I can from the library when I am low on funds, which seems to be an ongoing theme for 2010. It is so tedious to put a 20 CD book on the computer so I can put it on my ipod. I share my books with some people at work and they in turn share with me through our audible libraries. My appetite for books is not as easily satisfied as theirs, though! I can really devour books at an alarming pace! I went through my year's worth of audible credits in two months!

    I'm also not keen on the hassle of CD's. Have you checked out whether any libraries in you area have overdrive, a much more convenient method of borrowing audiobooks from the library.
