Kindle Audio
Darlyne, I copied this from the online manual on Kindle.
8.4 Audiobooks and Music
There are two types of materials you can listen to on Kindle. You can purchase, transfer,
and play audiobooks from Audible.com, and you can transfer MP3 files to Kindle to play
as background music while you read.
Audiobooks from Audible.com
Kindle supports the thousands of audiobooks available through Audible.com. You can
purchase and download one or more of these books through your Windows-based
computer using AudibleManager software supplied by Audible or iTunes on your
Macintosh. You can then transfer these books to your Kindle over USB or using an SD
memory card, and listen to them on your Kindle.
