I then spent about 4 nights in a row burning all my Itunes music to CD's, and reimporting it. That circumvents the DRM. Have you tried that for your audiobooks?

Yes tried that and kept getting messages about protected files, even tried some long drawn out tutorials off youtube, end result was the same, seems to me that Apple are missing a trick here because when I used Itunes it worked fine and I would have been happy to carry on using it with my Nexus

Thanks for that I had no idea Google could do that, shame it requires credit card details though!

Thanks a lot guys very helpful and informative!. So "to root or not to root? that is the question". I`ll wait until I need it then check it out!.
Cheers

Hi peeps
Waiting patiently for my N7 to arrive but reading the forum it appears that some uses of the Nexus ie flash storage cards and such like require the Nexus to be rooted or unlocked which I assume is something akin to the Admin/user settings in Windows?. I`m just wondering why rooting the N7 seems to carry such a risk and involves much holding of breath,crossing fingers etc when the option in Windows is if you run stuff as Admin then you risk damaging your operating system and hence no pc so its your choice to do so but it seems rooting an N7 device to enable `Admin` features carry`s the same if not greater risk so again user choice so why do Nexus make it so hard to do?. Do the Nexus 7 makers or Google stand to loose something if we root our devices or have I got it completely wrong? Maybe all will become clearer when I get my N7?
