  "I think it's a great advance in the technology not dealing with cassettes or CDs that get lost, scratched or broken," said Ronald Gagnon, executive director of the North of Boston Library Exchange.
  
  The 28-member library network looked at adopting a downloadable book service but ultimately couldn't commit because the two main vendors don't support technology from Apple.
  
  "So it's tough," Gagnon said."People can buy (audiobooks) on their own but the iPod providers aren't open to the library market."
  
  The technology allows more users to access their local library from the comfort of their own home, Gagnon said.Nevertheless, patrons are still availing themselves of the actual branches.
  
  "Libraries are still busy places, doing a lot more than they ever did supporting reading and information," Gagnon said.

  "Some libraries have been reluctant to get into it because it doesn't serve the player that the majority of the people have," said Ron Gagnon, executive director of the North of Boston Library Exchange, a consortium of area libraries."If it worked with all the machines, more libraries would get into it."
  
  Cost has been another factor holding some libraries back from offering eAudiobooks, he said.
