[pct-l] Books on the trail question

[Cris]

Switchback, I have a Zen Nano and am very happy--less money and runs on one
AAA battery.  Also, I like Audible.com for downloadable MP3 books.  Check it
out.

One of my big things for the  upcoming 2007 hiking campaign is to start 
listening to books on the trail.   I was only kidding around with you about
the 
scooter.
 
Anyway, I am looking at the Apple  IPod Nano and the regular IPod.  I want
to 
download books to listen to as I  hike and camp.  There now finally seems to

be a good selection of MP3  books.  I also want the FM radio accessory.  My 
dilemma is  power.  I want some AA battery backup when the internal battery
runs 
out on  the trial.  This should be super fun out there in Mother Nature, 
especially  if there is a big storm going on outside my tent.
 
I am going down to the Apple store  Monday for a workshop to learn about all

this.  Does anyone have some  advise?
 
Thanks, Switchback the Book  Worm
