Audiobooks on iPod; iTrip


Audiobooks on iTunes aren't a bargain, with most of the ones I have bought costing more than a hard copy would. The technology doesn't seem to have been perfected yet -- I will often go back to a book (or segment of a book) only to find that the iPod has lost my place (there is supposed to be a virtual bookmark). Still, it's hard to beat the convenience, and it's a great way to take audiobooks with you wherever you go, especially when combined with an FM transmitter device such as the iTrip.

The iTrip is tiny, adding only about three quarters of an inch to the end of my video iPod, and the transmitter navigation couldn't be easier. However, it is tough to find an empty frequency in Los Angeles, and this causes a degradation of audio quality due to interference. I also find myself touching the iPod for better reception; perhaps a unit with a docking stand or cord of some kind would fare better.
