# Frequently Asked Questions

## Q: What's the difference between 'Classic' and 'Chardonnay'?

**A:** First and most importantly: Classic and Chardonnay have the exact same features.

* **Classic** is Windows only. Its older 'grey boxes' look has a compact design which allows for more information on the screen. Notably, Classic was written using an older, more mature technology which has built-in support for screenreaders.

* **Chardonnay** is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Its modern design has a more open look and feel.

## Q: Now that I've downloaded my books, how can I listen to them?

**A:** You can use any app which plays m4b files (or mp3 files if you used that setting). Here are just a few ideas. Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with any of these companies:

## Q: I'm having trouble loggin into my Brazil account.

For reasons known only to Jeff Bezos and God, amazon and audible brazil handle logins slightly differently. The external browser login option is not possible for Brazil. [See this ticket for more details.](https://github.com/rmcrackan/Libation/issues/1103)

## Q: How do I use Libation with a South Africa account?

**A:** Like many countries, amazon gives South Africa it's own amazon site. [Unlike many other regions](https://www.audible.com/ep/country-selector) there is not South Africa specific audible site. Use `US` for your region -- ie: audible.com.
