Using a Portable Device or MP3 Player

Once you have downloaded an eAudiobook to your PC, you can transfer it to a portable device.

Please check to ensure that your MP3 player can support playback of
secure or protected wma files and 32 kbps files. It is advisable that
the MP3 players have a storage capacity of at least 256 MB, since the
average CD quality eAudiobook file size is 140 MB. Your MP3 player
should support features – such as full time stamping and bookmarking –
for playing long files and returning to a chosen place in a file.
eAudiobooks can be listened to on a wide range of portable devices including MP3 players. Please see the Netlibrary site for more information.

Extensive help topics are also available once you have logged into NetLibrary; just click on the 'Help' link on the top right of any of the NetLibrary web pages.
