Well, the wait is finally over. George R. R. Martin’s series A Song of Ice and Fire continues with book 5, A Dance with Dragons:
Once again narrated by Roy Dotrice, it’s a 2-credit download right off the bat this time. But for nearly 50 hours of Dotrice’s narration of this long-awaited book? I don’t think that’s deterring too many people. Me? I’m glad I saved up an extra credit for this one.

Link: Android Audible App - A Great Way to Listen to Audiobooks
Read more...I have an HTC Evo and I am in love with the Audible for Android Application. Again being an accoutant I love statistics.

In the short term, I get to enjoy these audiobooks and see what else from my “Most Wanted” list

An apparently new feature to post every “first Friday” of the month: “On the First Friday of every month, Audible will present a selection of exciting books, new in audio. Load up for the weekend and enjoy.”
From what I can see, this means previously released books that are now new in audio. For this first “first Friday” this includes a large selection of Kevin J. Anderson novels, including his 1988 novel Resurrection, Inc.
