Every week, I receive tons of questions from my listeners about tech concerns, new products, and all things digital.
Sometimes picking the most interesting questions to highlight is the best part of my job.
This week, I received questions about how to find free audiobooks, how to save Facebook photos, the best way to find restaurants that appear on TV, and more.

My Amazon Public Profile
Q: Did you say we have public profiles on Amazon like social media accounts? I did not know. How do I watch it? how do i delete it?
A: The short answer is yes, you have a public profile on Amazon, and it’s like a social media account. You agreed to this when you signed up.
Thought matters a lot; If you have a profile that friends and loved ones can access, they can buy wise gifts for you.
Amazon has other little-known settings that may concern you, and the shopping experience will be much more comfortable after you change them.

leave facebook but keep my pictures
Q: I want to leave Facebook. Is there any way to download all my photos?
A: You are not alone. However, there are a few reasons why people hesitate before terminating their accounts: They wonder how they will keep in touch with friends and loved ones.
They fear “missing out” at important events such as weddings, children, and even funerals. In the end, they worry about losing their photos, which symbolize a lot of memories. Over the years, Facebook users can upload hundreds or even thousands of images to their accounts, and it’s hard to imagine losing these forever.
Naturally, Facebook doesn’t want you to leave their service, so they don’t make termination any easier. Now, there is a way to download all your photos and store them on your computer or the cloud.

Find famous restaurants
Q: I am a total foodie. Is there a way to see the restaurants on the TV show on a map? We are traveling across the country in an RV.
A: I think many of my readers and listeners envy your cross-country journey. One of the great joys of traveling is certainly trying different foods, and there is so much to sample.
In the meantime, if you’re a fan of Guy Fieri or Andrew Zimmern, you can go out of your way to try the restaurant you’ve seen in your favorite road-food chain. There have been a lot of different shows on the Food Channel and Travel Network about roadside eateries.
You can be anywhere in the country and be able to drive to a well-filmed location. Thanks to a great site, you can easily find them all.

free audiobooks
Q: I listen to audiobooks. I’m tired of paying for them. Are there any decent freebies?
A: No more clunky piles of audio cassettes, downloading an audiobook is easy and takes up very little memory on your phone. You can carry on with the audiobook without worrying about dropping the CD.
As convenient as audiobooks are for exercise or a long trip, they can be expensive, mainly if you use a service like iTunes or Audible. Do not get me wrong; These platforms are fantastic, and you can use Audible’s credit system to get incredible deals on some pricey titles.
But “free” is always the best price, and if you’re not satisfied with your local library’s Overdrive collection, a website offers a real steal.
