I've found that if you go bacK to the Library it saves your Position -just fine.

It was. Every once in a while I go back and try TS. That was my shot for 2003. I am back to Fitaly again. :lol:

Well, I guess I'm the odd man out. I have used Audible player for years and find it much more useable than MS Reader (for Audible content files). The difference, I guess, is that I have subscriptions to daily content (WSJ) and I need to be able to jump to the next section oft he paper by clicking the "next section" button on the Audible player... (anyone know how to do that in MS Reader? I also like to be able to tell Audible Manager to download the first four hours of a 16 hour book. I will admit that I've had some issues over the years with 4-5 changes in PPCs, but I have found their tech support comparable to most (notice I didn't say great... just comparable to everyone else). I use MS Reader heavily for written content (books, 2 bibles, dictionary, encyclopedia, etc), but still prefer Audible Player for my audible content. One other thing that Audible Manager does for me... it automatically sends the new subscription conent to my device... no dragging, no dropping, no copying, no thinking... it just happens. :wink:

That is almost all I do - WSJ. Very rarely got books, maybe 2-3 a year. MS Reader has four navigation buttons. |<<, <<, >> and >>|. the ones with the "|" in them move between sections and/or chapters.

Interesting side note. I found out that some of those files you need to delete come are overwriting newer 2003 ROM files. This is apparently why the 2003 reader choked with those Audible files in the Windows folder. :?

I have audible manager 4.0 installed. And uninstalled my audible player.

for some reason i can not find the following files after uninstalling:

aud_file.dll
ce_player_dll.dll
utils.dll
d_aud1.dll
cefaccess.dll

i do not see the PLS, FLS, or AA files either.

But when I transfer books over to my device, I see them in the File Explorer but they don't show up in Microsoft Reader. Could some help? What am I doing wrong? :roll:

DLLs are hidden by default, so you neet to tess File Manager or desktop Explorer to show DLLs. Then Reader will show you the files. you may not have any .aa or .fls files, which is fine.

Got to say that I've never had a single problem with Audible on either the desktop or the PPC and their customer service has always been great (which I used to enquire about the details of the credit on my account and return one subscription when I accidentally bought it twice - doh!)

The only thing I don't like is that it takes so long to load the library when you turn on the device but that's relatively easy to live with unless you need to turn on and off frequently.

Having said that, MS Reader is not compatible with the Japanese Genio e550G so I can't compare it to that.

is there a particular area where i have to place my audio books in order for reader to recognize they are there?

(PS i found the dll's.... thanks ed.)

EDIT: Nevermind. I've got it working now. Awesome!

First of all I really don't have a complaint about Audible except for the starting up when you dock. I did try Ed's suggestion and tried following his instructions but must of goofed up or something. Then when it came to moving the books over I dawned on me, where do I find the files and where do I put them? Duh?

So I reinstalled Audible, activated MS Reader but MS Reader is recognizing my books as it did in preivous versions. How do I get it to recognize my books?
