Note: NetLibrary Audiobooks does not support the use of the Apple iPod for playback. iPods use a file format (.aac) that does not support the Digital Rights Management protection required by NetLibrary eAudiobooks at this time. Digital Rights Management protection helps ensure that the content of our publishing partners is secure, especially when items are checked out from the library's collection and borrowed by a user rather than purchased. This Digital Rights Management technology allows checked out items to expire on the due date. |
