Oookaayy. Despite the iBooks UI and Apple’s documentation [support.apple.com] there are no AudioBooks in iCloudLand [www.engadget.com]. WTF Apple, can you take a pill or something? Old school iTunes all the way.

iBooks, iCloud and audiobooks: despite unchecking ‘hide iCloud books’ in the esoteric Collections screen, my recently purchased Audiobooks don’t show. Occult DRM problem? Bug? Apple being a PITA? Can’t find any help on this one.

Sad to say I missed this. AT&T advertises device add is $25. But they split out $5 tax/fee. So it’s $30 that has to be compared to prepaid, not $25. Diabolical…
