What are digital audio books?
Digital audio books are books that you can listen to on a device such as a Sony Walkman, Apple iPod, MP3 player, mobile phone or computer. They sound the same as audio CDs, but because they are supplied as MP3 files, digital audio books are portable and available to listen to as soon as you have downloaded them.
Getting started with digital audio books
You can transfer digital audio books to Sony Walkmans, Apple iPods, MP3 players, mobile phones, and any device that plays MP3 files. To listen to digital audio books on your computer, you can use iTunes, Windows Media Player, or any other program that plays MP3s. So, as long as your device plays MP3 files, then you're ready to get started and buy digital audio books from the Pottermore Shop.
It's easy to download digital audio books
Once you have bought a digital audio book from the Pottermore Shop, it will instantly appear in your personal 'My books' page. You can then download it to your computer straight away and transfer it to your Sony Walkman, Apple iPod, MP3 player or mobile phone.
