Hi Kathy,
That was most informative yes.
Just for my information, how do you  access your audible content in Linux?
when reading the cd restrictions I smiled thinking that a grossly desperate person could just make cd copies from the cd they burn but still.

Hi Karen --

Your question got me curious since I use Audible all the time.  It sounds
like there is an option to download a pdf but only for audiobooks that come
with a pdf.  And it sort of implies that this is extra content and not
exactly the book itself that you can download.  You may have already found
this info, but here is that page:
https://audible.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5046/c/3081/session/L3RpbWUvMTUzODY4NTE5My9nZW4vMTUzODY4NTE5My9zaWQvZlVjJTdFVldUZ2RmdDdZNXo1eFNiZmhydjRBZ3VZbVQlN0V2NkdUUDUzQUJlUmVKZjY1SUc3MUFaJTdFU1NJc2JiZHg1ampVWnA3MzA1M2lJdzl1OGwlN0VyTXNDekRSYzFNOE9ETF9QVnV5cE1BOElHMUJtREJEWE80UTlnU0ElMjElMjE%3D

But here is a better answer I think.  I found this:

  - Because Audible files are in either .aa or .aax format, we only
  support iTunes for CD burning.
  - At the request of our publishers, you are only allowed to burn each
  audiobook in your library one time. This is to prevent mass distribution of
  audiobooks and to protect all parties involved.
  - You cannot burn Audible content to a DVD or MP3 disc.

I found that on this page, under a subheading of Restrictions.

https://audible.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9246/~/how-do-i-burn-my-audiobooks-onto-a-cd%3F

So sounds like they make it tough.

Hi folks,
Is there a way to  use an audible books account that lets you download the
book for  say burning to a cd for reading in Linux?
Say a third party application from the command line?
Thanks,
Karen
