NetLibrary looks like it's going to be awesome! You can download language books!!! I would definitely be interested in learning Italian this way. You can browse by subject too, which is great. Basically, you can search or browse just about any topic or book, and then click on the Download link, and then transfer it to your mp3 player. I watched a video that demonstrated how to download a file onto an mp3 player. It seemed doable. I really need to get the internet at home again!
Of course, copyright questions come into play here too, but there's still a lot of options to choose from.
I'm not sure how our patrons would like this-I know some of them would think this is great, since our audio- and cdbooks are really popular. But I also think that they get these to listen to in the car for the most part, and it wouldn't be safe to listen to your mp3 player while you drive. But I'm sure people will still do it!
