Audible allows copying for personal use. The key is the phrase: "IN
ANY OTHER MANNER" at the end of the sentence in their t's and c's.
Grants of Licenses
....Audible grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive,
non-transferable license to download or stream such Audible Content to
your computer and/or your Device(s) solely for your personal
non-commercial use. You shall not copy, reproduce, ... distribute or
use the Audible Content in any other manner. ...
They were 7 years ahead of their time,, and their service is still top
notch. Having just read that the average Bay Arean will spend 65
hours in their car this year, Audible + iPod = sanity on the road.

Audible.com is site that sells "books on tape" for you to download to
your
iPod or other MP3 player, a PDA or to burn on CD and listen to in the
car.
The site specifically tells you that you can do all these things.
Then you read the terms of service which say: "The Audible content is
provided for your personal use. You agree not to resell, copy ..."
How can I download, copy to my iPod or burn to a CD without copying?
Do
you think they are even aware of this humorous inconsistency?
