NetLibrary eAudiobook Content from Books on Tape and Blackstone Audio Available for Pre-Ordering

NetLibrary is pleased to announce that a new eAudiobook collection of perennial bestsellers, timeless classics and hot new releases from Blackstone Audio and Books on Tape is now available for purchase. This new collection of titles for purchase is a great complement to the collection of Recorded Books titles which is available as a subscription program.

Beginning in February 2007 libraries will be able to add Blackstone Audio and Books on Tape titles to their collection in the same way you purchase eBooks from NetLibrary (i.e., one at a time). Additionally, NetLibrary will waive the access fees on all Blackstone Audio and Books on Tape titles ordered before March 31, 2007.

eAudiobooks from Blackstone Audio and Books on Tape will be available for delivery beginning February 2007. Orders placed now will not be billed until titles are loaded.

Like all NetLibrary eAudiobooks, these titles can be downloaded and played on any desktop, laptop or portable device supporting Windows Media Player (v9.0 or greater). You can also transfer titles to a wide range of portable devices, portable music players, Pocket PCs and select smartphone devices.
