August story at the Detroit News Web site on using OCLC/NetLibrary AudioBooks in public libraries. It’s a good overview of the issue and includes the fact that Apple iPod users are left out.

These articles aren’t quite getting it though. It’s not just the iPod issue, though important. The big issue is: You can’t use Audiobooks on an Apple-branded computer.

I don’t own an iPod. I would listen to Audiobooks on my Apple-branded laptop.
