Does any one else use the Audible app for their Android? I find it actually better to use for my audiobooks than iTunes. A lot simpler, anyway. I suspect that when I finally get my laptop, and access to a version of iTunes from this decade, I'll continue to use the Audible app.

Looking forward to the next Dark Tower book next week.
Still plugging away on Pandora's Star (it's 5 parts, 7+ hours each).
I use the Audible app for Blackberry. It's got highs and lows. It's really good about remembering where you are even after things like software updates and hard reboots, but it's a pain to rewind/fast forward, and occasionally it will have a brain fart and skip back to where you last started (and you have to clunk through the fast forward until you find where you were).
iTunes can kiss my ass. I'm the last person on the planet who hates iTunes and won't use it for any purpose.

It's good for podcasts. And I can't stand the playback on my Android - they chop off the first second or so and that makes a song sound different. It's dumb, and I don't like it. :(
But I also like having one device for music and podcasts and one for audiobooks. Keeps things organized.

Finished Pandora's Star and jumped straight into Judas Unchained.
For some reason they switched from Bradley Johansen to Bradley Yohansen. lol

I've noticed that in some series - not often enough to annoy me, but sometimes it takes a while to figure out who they're talking about. I think it happens in the WoT series, but can't be sure. I've listened to most of the audiobooks, but have also read a few of them. I started by listening, and didn't know who this Siuan character was, because I wouldn't have pronounced it "Swan" in my head. :P
Great, now I'm wondering how long it would take for me to read through all the WoT books. THEY'RE SO LONG. And often tedious.

I actually prefer the audiobooks for Wheel of Time to the word books. Definitely for the last few Jordan ones (I'm a Sanderson fanboy so I find his style more enjoyable to read).
I even asked an interesting question of the narrators once about choices in the direction and got a cool response.

I absolutely love the readings of the WoT books. The narrators add a lot to the books. I don't if I could actually read them all, but if I did, I'd be thinking the entire time "Those narrators could do a lot better."
