My tumblelog is my place to post random links, pictures, videos, pretty much just random clips from the internet.

They can easily tell by the credit card what country it's from. I’m surprised they didn’t have a fit at your country not being United states.

There is no software required for download and you gotta choose the various qualities. The bigger the file size, the better the quality suppose to be, and the longer the download. However, so far I've not notice any differences in quality for the smallest file size. Have you tried out other audiobook sites like Million Audiobook?

You can make your selections and download them entirely from a web browser. The only downside to this is that you need to manually drag the downloaded books into your iTunes Library (but this takes about 5 seconds, so it's not a big deal). Audible doesn't even offer software for Mac OS X, so that's how those of us on the other platform use Audible 100% of the time. As for the "weird" placement of the chapters, they are actually placed at the CD boundaries. That is, Audible imports the books from CD masters, that are pretty much the same as if you bought an audiobook on CD in a store. But when they import them, they don't make the chapters match the book chapters, they just set them at the points in-between CDs when they join the individual imports together. Mildly irritating, but at least they do take out the "Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Disc 5" introductions at the start of each disc. I'm sure you'll enjoy the Dexter book. Although the plot lines for the first season on Showtime roughly corresponded with the plot of the first book, I find the TV series to be much darker, and less fun. In the book, Dexter is cheerfully homicidal, and points out through observations that he fits very well with Miami because of it. Nick Landrum, the narrator, gives a spot-on performance, nailing the tone with a breezy performance, that will send you out looking for the nearest "media noche" Cuban sandwich in your city.
