Olivia: Bottom line concerning the Stream and the Mac... You will be able to do everything with the Stream, except authorize it for Audible. Audible works very very nicely on the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. I believe you have two of these. The NLS player is really worth getting though. I works great with the Mac. I downloaded 20 books and put them on it yesterday. The Stream really is a nice device and if you can get a discount through GDB, you should go or it. I believe you will enjoy it. Maybe you can get a friend to help you authorize it for Audible, on a windows machine if that is a deal breaker for you. On Jun 16, 2010, at 1:24 AM, Olivia Norman wrote:
