Thanks for the Sansa Clip suggestion. It looks like I'll definitely have to buy a compatible device to listen to audible books because audible will not play on just any MP3 player. They're as protectionist and anti-competitive as Australian publishers.
No rock is completely impermeable, but some porous rocks like shale and pumice are mostly impermeable, because the pores are not interconnected, thus not allowing fluids or gases to pass through them. This is why shale makes a good cap-rock, and pumice floats instead of sinking.
Permeable pavers are composed of a layer of concrete or fired clay brick. The pavers are separated by joints filled with crushed aggregate. Permeable pavers are different from pervious and porous pavers in that rainwater passes around the paver opposed to through it.Permeable is a term used to describe paving methods for roads, parking lots, and walkways.This type of system allows the movement of water and air around the paving material. Water enters the joints between the solid impervious pavers and flows through the paver system.here is an obvious and distinct difference between pervious, permeable, and porous pavers. Each possesses certain physical and aesthetic qualities that need to be considered prior to project design and installation.
