Re: Audioliterature and Audible

Availle, imo you've eloquently expressed a widely shared attitude at LV -- your message was gentle, even-handed, and straight-talking. It's a little bit of embodiment of the LV mantra: be kind, while clearly stating our stubborn generosity. I just want to chirp my agreement with all you've said and ...

Re: [GRP] Final Report of the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing - tg

Great project! I'd like to read 0 Prefatory Material, Executive Summary iii-iv From the Co-Chairs v Members of the Task Force 1-4 Executive Summary I wonder... Could the Members of the Task Force be read after the Executive Summary? That way the text could flow without interruption, and folks could ...

Re: Audioliterature and Audible

Amazon responded to my inquiry in January . They corrected a narrator credit error that I pointed out, but the larger question -- do they have a policy about selling audiobooks that are available free at librivox -- is skirted by mentioning an unrelated policy. Personally, I'm not interested in puni...

something happens between my brain and the paper... Ah, the fabulous thing about drawing is that it affects how you see.

Re: Audioliterature and Audible

Wow. Your post amazed me -- I'm so naive. As it happens, I was composing an email to audible customer service today (pasted below) and thought -- hey, I should check the LibriVox forum for any examples of this problem I'm reporting -- and so I folded your instance into my email: Hello, Audible Team,...
