Scribd just updated their IOS app to include the audiobooks. Haven't tried it yet. Requires IOS 7 or later. Yeah! I am part way into a three month trial.

Just tried it. One very serious fault so far is the app closes/crashes at the end of a chapter. Tried it with a couple of chapters. Need to try another book. I was using the streaming. Am downloading a book onto my iPad mini to see if it does that when a book is on the device. Download is taking forever and I have fairly fast internet. Audible is swift compared to this. Didn't Booklover have issues too with the android app? Hope they fix them.

Second book streamed also jumped out of app at end of chapters. The downloaded book didn't, continuing into the next chapter just fine. So guess downloading is the answer for now.
