...you can listen to the books on your Kindle. The sound quality is just as good as on your computer or MP3 player. You can either sync up your Audible and Amazon accounts and download directly to your Kindle, or, as I chose to do, download the book to your computer. Then you connect your Kindle to your computer, where it appears as an auxiliary drive. It's a simple matter to copy the book file to the Audible folder on your Kindle, which is already there. There's an authorization process that's required the first time you do this, but it's simple. In sum, you can download Audible content to up to 3 different computers AND 3 different audio devices at a time.
