It is wonderful and is a nice way to spend my 15 mile drive to and from work each day. Anyways, there are a couple of words that Davina pronounces in a completely different way then I thought they were pronounced and the way I thought you explained them on your website. For example- I thought Laoghaire was pronounced LA-HEER-EE,not LEE-EHR, and I thought Culloden was pronounced CULL-O-DEN,not CULL-AH-DEN like Davina pronounces them. So, I know this is trivial...but would you mind clearing this up for me? Oh! And at the beginning of the CD's she pronounces Geillis GAY-LISS, and somewhere around the 9th CD or so, she starts pronouncing it GEE-LEE.

I have the same question as another commenter: if the abridged license to Fiery Cross expires in 2011 when can we realistically expect to have it available on Audible? Also, what year will the abridged license expire on ABOSA so I can mark my calendar? ;-)<br /><br />I have all the print versions, naturally, and all the unabridged that are available via Audible. I have a Zune rather than an iPod and while I can rip CDs there's no "resume" feature unless they are from Audible, which drives me bats. <br /><br />Nancy in Redmond, WANancy Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-72636674212558210052010-12-29T12:13:49.871-08:002010-12-29T12:13:49.871-08:00Dear Diana

One for lend-out...I work out and walk to my audiobooks as I love music but tire of it quickly..not so with my Outlander Saga, Into the Wildnerness, Twilight and NOW wishing the Bronze Horseman. It adds such a dimension to the Saga - and different parts will make you laugh or bring you to tears. Davina Porter does an excellent job - and I quickly got used to her (we always have those pre-conceived notions!) and fell in love with her style, her Jamie, her Claire...she is the reason I think a good English/Australian actor could play Jamie...Jamie was learned, well traveled and did not have as heavy a Scot accent as someone who didn't have these wordly experiences.. anyway. That's why I LOVE Chris Hemsworth for Jamie, everything he has done so far leads me to believe he has what it takes to do this part..Jamie is young through 2 books...actually into the third as they describe his side of the story.. so I differ with those who want to cast someone older all the time... I think Chris (now with scenes from Thor) has that incredible strength of character, ferocity of a warrior and fire inside that is Jamie.. Just so with Emily Blunt...look at that woman, she can smoulder and it's hard to tell what age she is, I think Rachel Weisz and Kate Winslet too old...and too established, Keira Knightly possibly.. but I can just see Emily as a doctor - more realistically and see her as someone a bit set apart from standard beauty - but very beautiful in her own way...and with the depth and acting chops to carry it off...Gerard Butler and Kevin McKidd are flat out too old and look nothing like Jamie..Jamie is a rugged (but beautiful man that turns heads and stands above the crowd - and is graceful..such is Chris H. We will never, ever get a Jamie that fits the bill for all of us, and it took a long time for me to see anyone who even vaguely captured his essence. The man who becomes Jamie must like the series and read it at least twice to become invested in the part...and do Jamie Justice. Again, no-one will be perfect. At first when I listened to the audio I didn't like it, but one must view it as a compliment to the series, another dimension that becomes beloved...UNABRIDGED - which I've said over and over again, is a travesty and GUTS Diana's vision. My local library has mostly abridged with 1 unabridged, through much work I gained access to all of this series unabridged and put it on my computer and my ipod..Another part of my "treasured collection".Thanks again Diana for your marvelous work! I beg you to give us more Jamie & Claire in this one...I love them no matter what they're doing..and Rog and Bree, have come to love them too! I hope frankly, they don't die at the end, just fade away, but if they must be shown in death...make it old and together!!!

I did try loading the DOA CDs on iTunes so I could listen on my iPod but found it a nuisance to return to the place where I had left off. Audiobooks purchased through iTunes gives you the option to "Resume" a book.

I think my only remaining question on the topic is: Having seen how successful the unabridged versions have been, why wouldn't Bantam Dell just work out a deal with you for the unabridged versions, record those and sell them?? I'm sure most Outlander fans don't bother with the abridged versions anyway, so it can't be making them that much money...<br /><br />Oh, I lied. A second question: If their rights to Fiery Cross expire in 2011, when during the year can we expect to see that recorded book in unabridged form on Audible.com? I'm not sure how long it typically takes to record and distribute those?<br /><br />Thanks!smnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-70911635785624627252010-12-11T07:41:09.772-08:002010-12-11T07:41:09.772-08:00Thanks so much for the explanations.

For $35 or so per month, I got to borrow four audiobooks at a time. FC and ABOSA were my first choices! Since my CD player in my VW is busted, I pulled the books over to my iPod (maybe Recorded Books would not approve but I don't sell them or stream them - I do it for purely personal enjoyment) and got to listen to both. I decided to keep the Recorded Books membership for at least three months to offset the cost. (It's more like 6 months now and I still think the membership is cost effective...) If you are a 24 credit per year member at Audible, the cost per "book" is $9.56 and you can renew in less than a year - i.e. unlimited books for $9.56 each but you have to buy all 24 credits at one time. With Recorded Books, there is the nuisance of dealing with the CDs but the cost per book is really only about $6.00 per book. If you are an avid listener, if you listen to the books promptly and if you return them promptly, it is a great deal. Recorded Books is a great company and they have a lot of good books in their catalog. I'll admit to being a real audiobook junky. I NEED something to listen to on those boring drives for work and while doing all those mindless household chores. Between Audible and Recorded Books, I can get virtually any book of any length for the price of a trip to a fast food restaurant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-66210282397251431712010-12-09T15:37:11.613-08:002010-12-09T15:37:11.613-08:00*squeee* sorry I just read the response from you t...*squeee* sorry I just read the response from you that the books will be available for Canadians in Kindle. <br /><br />For the folks that want large print, I would suggest purchasing a Kindle because you can increase the font size.

I went through chemo last year and took my Kindle with me each time. I had a lot of curious folk asking for demonstrations and, most of said folk in the chemo room being somewhat elderly (though I am not ), they were all thrilled with the prospect of upping the font size of any and all books, and not just being limited to what was published in large print. If you have an elderly person in your life who loves to read but needs their books in large print - buy them an ereader! (Sorry about Canada - all DG books are available on the US version of Kindle except The Exile - and as much as I am in love with my Kindle, I'm still not convinced that graphic novels and ereaders are a good mix: the screen is small and the ink is black and white. IMHO, Exile is a work of art and should be seen in its full color, glossy, detailed glory.)Angelainoknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-51564637465550765672010-12-09T06:40:53.755-08:002010-12-09T06:40:53.755-08:00Diana:
