Thanks,

My membership at Audible isn't up until next May, so I have time to see if KU adds a significant number of titles before I need to make any decision.

I recently moved from Fort Worth, Texas to a small town in Minnesota. The Fort Worth Library has a decent selection of audiobooks on cassette and CD. I started listening to audiobooks through them around 2001. By 2011 or so, I had listened to everything they had that was remotely to my tastes and that's when I discovered Audible.

I was just in my new local library today and for a small town, they have a surprisingly large selection of audiobooks on CD. However I have become spoiled by having audiobooks on my phone, which is a lot more convenient than on CD. I have never tried overdrive for audiobooks, but I probably should check to see if my new library has them. My biggest concern is now that I don't have a long commute, I don't consistently finish books within the normal 3-week loan period at the library.
