audible books question.

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi Karen --

Unfortunately I have never tried it from Linux and just use my iPhone for
Audible.  So from that perspective I'm not at all helpful.  But your
question got me curious so I started looking into it.  If I listen to
Audible on Linux I just fire up a browser and go into their web interface,
but I rarely do that.  So again, I don't have any practical experience of
actually downloading the audio files locally and outside of iTunes.
