Palm 755P and audio book and ebooks

How can I download audio books onto my treo 755p so I can listen to books?  Also, to read books on my treo-- i downloader the ereader... is this the same as Adobe pdf reader? My library has books in this adobe format that I can download, which I would like to take advantage of..  Thanks for you knowledge!

Hello dmbj891 and welcome to the Palm forums.
 Are you talking about converting audio books that you already own on CD or are you talking about purchaing audio books in .mp3 format?  If you are looking to purchase audio books in .mp3 format, you will want to check out Audible.com.  If you want to convert ebooks you already own, I would use either iTunes or Windows Media Player to convert the audio CDs into .mp3 files, and then copy the .mp3 files to a miniSD card using a card reader connected to your computer.
 With regard to ebooks, check with your local library to see if the books are encrypted with Digital Rights Management (DRM) software.  If they are, you will need an ebook reader specifically designed to work with the type of DRM on the ebook.  If the ebooks are protected Acrobat files, I don't think that there is a reader that will allow you to read them on a Palm OS device.
 I use eReader Pro (now free) from eReader.com.  I have also purchased a number of ebooks from both eReader.com and Fictionwise.com.  If you like reading ebooks, and buy them, you will want to sign up for the eReader newsletter as there is often a discount code you can use when purchasing books.  (eReader.com is now owned and operated by Fictionwise.)
Hope that helps,
Alan G

  • Backing Up My Songs and Audio Books  AND  Updating to 3.1.2

    Hello,
    1. My Touch is set for manual management of my songs and audiobooks and a few podcasts. What's on the Touch is not exactly what is in my Music Folder on my MacBook Pro which is the "home" computer. Most of my songs on the Touch are not from the iTunes store, but from my CD collection. How can I back up what is on the Touch? I've been told a third party software is necessary. I've also heard I can drag my data to the desktop of my MacBook Pro then burn it to CDs but not DVDs. That would take forever. This is all very awkward and unsophisticated in my opinion. I would think Apple could do better.
    2. Last night I wanted to update my Touch to 3.1.2. I started the update but aborted it when I read in the update infor panes that my Touch would be reset to Default as a result of this updating process. I interpreted that to mean I was going to suddenly lose all of my music library, audiobooks and podcasts on the Touch. So, I aborted the update. Was I right? Will I lose my songs, etc. when doing this update? If so, all the more reason to know how to backup what is on the Touch and reinstall it after the update.
    Thanks to anyone who can help me on this.
    George

    I'm not sure why you are worried about this. You might want to spend a few minutes with the manual so you get a better understanding of the relationship between iTunes and your iPod. It is anything but awkward and unsophisticated as you say.
    1. Are you running Time Machine? - if you are, your library is backed up. However, if you want an additional backup, use an external hard drive and copy your library to it or burn it to a DVD. If you sync your touch regularly, there is absolutely no reason to copy the contents from the touch (software required - Google "Pod to Mac") to a backup drive.
    2. The update process wipes your iPod, installs the new firmware, restores your previous data, and re-syncs your library. In other words, you have the same iPod with a new version of firmware. Everything is where you expect it, nothing is lost. You basically don't have to do anything except start the process.

  • I just purchased extra storage for my iCloud.  How and where do I access it?  I purchased movies and audio books to find out that I didn't have enough storage (the reason for the extra storage purchase).  I have no idea where to find them now.  Help?!

    How do I use my iCloud???
    I purchased 4 movies and 2 audio books from iTunes only to find out my iPad2 didn't have enough storage, so I purchased more storage from iCloud. 
    My iTunes account only shows the 4 movies that need to still be downloaded (not the two books)  After purchasing 20GB from iCloud I am still receiving the  "There is not enough available storage.  You can manage your storage in Settings" message.  I have gone to my Settings, where it shows I have the new, extra storage.  I have set all the iCloud settings as shown on the Apple website.  In my iCloud settings, it shows I have 17GB available out of 25GB.   In my General settings, it shows that I have a capacity of 28.6 GB, while my Available is 2.9GB.  (????)
    I don't know why I still can't download the movies.  I wouldn't know where to go (how to get to) the iCloud if I could...
    Also, iTunes has sent me receipts for the movies and audio books I purchased as well.  Where are they???
    Thank you SO very much for any assistance you can offer me!

    Cancel your storage upgrade
    If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year.
    Note:  Partial refunds are available where required by law.

    Since I purchased about $70 worth of movies and books and they won't load onto my iPad, do you think iTunes will refund my money?
    If you make more room on your Device perhaps you can View/ use the purchases...
    However if you would prefer a Refund... you can always ask... be sure to explain your situation...

  • How do I upload audio books and music at the same time

    I like listening to Audio Books as well as music but everytime I upload any music it deletes the audio books and when I upload audio books it deletes the music. How do I keep both on my iPhone without the other being deleted.
    Cheers

    Thats what I was doing wrong. Both music and books were ticked but I wasn't clicking on the books tab and ticking what I wanted to upload there.
    All I need to do now is work out why iTunes stops working when I start typing to submit details gracenote.
    Thanks

  • HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

    My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???

    'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
    Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

    How to report an issue with Your iTunes Store purchase

    At the present time, audiobooks are a one-time download and cannot be redownloaded again for free.  You can try contacting the iTunes store to see if they would grant you an exception: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • HT201306 i downloaded an itunes audio book and now can't find it anywhere...where did it go?

    I downloaded an itunes audio book and now can't find it anywhere...not in iTunes, not in iBooks...where did it go?

    I had similar troubles on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7) with some audiobooks. Tried redownloading, reported problems, etc.  nothing worked. Even more confusing, I could 'see' it in the On This IPhone in iTunes, but couldn't even see the audiobooks button in iTunes (on the phone). 
    I ended up searching for it by name, from my iPhone home screen (by swiping down, it may be called spotlight?), and where it reads 'Search this iPhone', I just started typing the name of the book, and there it was.
    Not the most elegant solution, but so far all three of the books that I've bought are there.

  • Downloaded audio books and they came in duplicates how do I get a refund?

    I was downloading an audio book and it downloaded in duplicates. How do I get credit and/or cancel? I don't know what I did to cause this.

    Johnsherryq-
    When you receive the confirmation eMail from the iTunes store, check to see if it charged you twice or just once.  If it is not correct, there is a reply link under the item to "Report a Problem".

  • Zen 2gb and audio book chapters and bookma

    Hello,
    Right now I have a Zen Stone which I use mainly to download audio books and which I have outgrown. It was a good, cheap starter mp3, but now I want something better. (The tech upgrade?bug strikes again, I guess.) The main peeeve I have with the Zen Stone is that I cannot bookmark where I stopped in a book's chapter. Books download in sections whcih contain more that one actual chapte, so, when I have to recharge the battery, the Stone restarts at the last section, not where I quit to recharge. Thus, I have to re-listen to old material. Also, since there is no screen, I can't see where and what section/chapter I am anyway.
    Will a better model Zen allow me to save and bookmark where I am in a book so that i can restart anywhere without going back over old material? Will I be able to see sections nad chapter headings (section 4, chapter6, e.g.) on the screen.
    Any help appreciated. I am fairly new to mp3-land, but not to computers. Thanks

    I can tell you that the Zen 2gb is not as great with audio books as it ought to be.
    Audible?format audio books have chapter markings that the Zen can see. Overdri've?Media files?do not.
    Yes, you can bookmark. However, when you go to the bookmark, the player does not remember that the bookmarked file was part of a playlist. Therefore, it loads only the one file and stops playing when it gets to the end. At that point you have to go back through the main menu to reload your playlist.
    The "resume" function would make the bookmark problem less annoying, if it worked properly. The player will remember where you stopped and begin there the next time you turn the player on, unless you wait more than 2 hours. In that case, it starts at the beginning of the track and you have to FF till you find your place (hopefully you remembered to note the timer position before shutting down). This is the method I've settled on, because although I have to FF to my place every morning and evening, at least I don't have to keep reloading playlist.
    Interestingly, although you can't bookmark videos on the Zen, you don't need to, because it remembers where you left off playing it no matter how long you wait, and even after synching.
