I also can't find the audiobook version on Borders, or on Barnes and Noble =
(which page looks more like what Bernie is describing, with plus and minus =
signs in the versions section in the middle of the page).
However, the audiobook is available in the iTunes store, or direct from aud=
ible.com. Can you access those, Peter?
Also, it looks like the eBook versions are only accessible on the latest iP=
ads, iPhones and iPods (and perhaps the Nook Color and Tablet). They don't =
work on the Kindle, Nook for Mac, Calibre, Stanza, or any of the other eBoo=
k reader software I have tried over the past several days (I can't speak to=
the Nook Tablet experience). In the readers I have tried, the text appears=
, but not the audio. For the audio it appears to me that you need one of th=
e iXxx devices. That is at least true of the eBook version available on the=
iTunes site and from Amazon.
Here is the relevant text from iTunes Store:
"This book requires iBooks 1.3.1 or later and iOS 4.3.3 or later. Books can=
only be viewed using iBooks on an iPad, iPhone (3G or later), or iPod touc=
h (2nd generation or later)."
And here is the text from the Amazon.com page
"Kindle Edition with Audio/Video: Audio/Video content only available for iP=
ads, iPhones, and iPod Touch devices."
Being utterly new to all this, it has taken me some hours to figure this al=
l out, so I hope my hours will save someone else!
For me, it looks like the audiobook from iTunes or Audible is the only way =
to get the soundscapes content, since I don't own any of those other device=
