Net Library

Net Library is not good. Many moons ago I decided I would take advantage of a net library audiobook. I dutifully downloaded the file and then went on to figuring out how to stick it on my ipod. I soon discovered that I could not put it on my ipod because it was in wma format which ipods do not support. So I just went back to check out audiobooks on cd ripping them onto my computer and putting them on my ipod that way, not convenient, but do-able. So time later (but still several moons ago) I came into possession of a netlibrary compatible mp3 player. At last I can fully take advantage of netlibrary. So I dutifully downloaded and uploaded and finally sat down to listen and I listened and I listened and then when I'd heard enough. I turned off my mp3 player and went to bed. The next morning I decided to listen to my audiobook on my way into the library. Alas my cheap-o mp3 player had lost my place, oh well I'll just skip to the right chapter and resume from there. Wait, what's this? The whole audiofile is all one track? Oh lamentable day. That was the story of how I learned to hate Net Library. Today I browsed net library once more to refresh my memory about net library and I recalled one further problem w/ netlibrary. The selection is terrible. They actually have a descent number of titles (several hundred) but they have lots and lots of mediocre titles. I remember last time I downloaded an audiobook it took me much browsing before i found an acceptable title (Cod: A biography of the fish that changed the world) and even that was a bit of a stretch- I doubt I would have picked that book up if I'd seen it in a bookstore amongst other quality books. Another problem I encounter was that sometimes they'll have the second or third book in a series, but not the first. Honestly what gives net-library?
