Okay, I got the book on cd ripped in via iTunes. It's just annoying because then I had to use MP3 converter to make it an audiobook. iTunes should have an mp3-to-audiobook converter built in...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think you can just tell iTunes that an mp3 is an audiobook. (He says, without checking iTunes first.)
OK, I think that what you do is go to "Get Info" and change the Genre to AudioBooks. You also might want to check "Remember playback position" under Options.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What tommy said has worked for me. I've never had to convert anything again, but I use iTunes to listen to it in.

From Wired.com:
Toshiba put HD-DVD out of its misery today. Reuters confirmed this afternoon that it will cease manufacturing HD-DVD equipment, following earlier reports from Japan's NHK public broadcasting network.
So I guess this means Blu-Ray wins?

Trust my rage
Just yesterday, I heard two news reports about how Blu-Ray seemed to be winning but nothing was decided yet. Stuff moves fast in this world.

Aw, HD-DVD, we hardly knew ye!
Is this Sony's first format-war win?

hwæt
Sony partnered with Philips to create the CD format, which was a win.
But Sony blew it with Beta, DAT, Mini-Disc, SACD and UMD.
Before the DVD was released, Sony and Philips were ready to go to war with a Toshiba alliance over the format, but a compromise was brokered. The result was the most successful consumer electronics introduction ever. You would think that they would have learned their lesson.

Nah, it was pretty much decided a few weeks ago when a major studio decided to drop HD-DVD.
You would think that they would have learned their lesson.
But that would require them to play nice.
