• Enhanced discovery.
  You can browse eAudiobooks by genre, or search for eAudiobooks by Title, Author, Subject, or Narrator. Results are displayed in your choice of list view or carousel-style glance view, and include cover images, bibliographic information and other descriptive content. Users can also limit search results by file format to quickly identify titles compatible with their portable devices.
• Full-featured audio player.
  NetLibrary's Media Center allows you to listen to titles directly from your desktop or laptop. Integrated playback controls not only adjust the volume and pause the play, but allow you to jump from section to section and even control the pace of the narration.

  Lost your place? No problem. For ease of download, playback and storage, eAudiobooks are divided into segments, approximately 1 hour in length, making it easy to navigate within an eAudiobook.
