I have a ton of Audible books that I have purchased over the years. I used to use a Toshiba e750 wm2003 pocketpc to listen to them. But then I switched to a creative Zen vision M, which supports audible. But I wanted to listen to them on my N800 which is my main device now. So I do this... I use my Windows PC with the Audible s/w to burn them to cd's. Actually, I burn them to CD images and not real cd's. Then mount the cd images using PowerIso and then I use Windows Mediaplayer to rip the cd's into mp3 format. Voila, no more DRM and I can play them on my N800. Not sure if this is legal but I bought the audiobooks so I should be able to listen to them on whatever device I want. Plus, I'm protected in case Audible ever goes bellyup and I can't 'activate' my audible player anymore. I hate DRM because a few years ago I bought music from MSN Music store , they went bellyup, and then I wasn't able to play those songs anymore. That won't happen to me anymore.
