Amazon's audio book service (audible.com)
    #26480637 - 02/11/20 04:36 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

I hate giving more money to ole Jeff Bezos as much as the next guy, but I gotta admit I need something like this.

I guess it's like Kindle except for audio books. I feel like I never have enough time to sit down and read (although that's not really true, I just usually find other things less productive to do instead), and with this service I can listen to books while I drive or when I'm at work. Or whatever.

I think it's $7.99 for the first 4 months and then $14.99 a month after that. 30 day free trial too.

Anybody got this service?

I have a library card and connected it to the Libby app... tons of audiobooks to choose from and all for free. Only downside is some more popular titles have a wait time

I have audible, its alright, You can exchange books you don’t like.
I get a credit every other month and have more books than I can listen to. Credits stack up and if you quit you lose unused credits.

Reddit has an audiobooks forum and people post links.

Walmart has kobo, but you can’t exchange books.

Librivox has free classic

Library is free

I use audible occasionally, but same as Crazy Horse, ended up having more credits than I needed and cancelling the service with a few books to sit on. $8 per book is a pretty good deal, I'd cancel it before the 4th month ends and just sit on them if you haven't used them up by then yet.

Lately I've been listening to the History of Rome podcast by Mike Duncan when I'm driving though. If you're into Roman history check it out, will last you 75+ hours of audio and he's a good presenter.

I love audible, it's the only way I really enjoy books anymore. And I enjoy the shit out of it (especially if the reader is good). I often don't have the money to justify the subscription (which is a really good deal), but still I enjoy it a lot. I also love that I can put it on my phone and take it with me. I can listen to some books while camping, or while driving, it's great.

I do have way too many books on it right now though that I haven't even started.

Yas. I need something like this. Right now music is the only thing that gets me through the workday, but I need some variation, and want to try something where I can get books and podcasts. My work is super weird though, and I'm only allowed my work issued cell phone on a good portion of the premise, my personal cellphone has to stay in my cube. But they'll let me bring in an mp3 player or something that doesn't take photos, so I'm trying to find something that's compliant that'll also play me audiobooks.
