But I accept the limitations of the app and very much enjoy their selection.

They've offered audiobooks since November of 2014, and have tens of thousands of audiobooks available, which are included in the subscription price.

The other service you're referring to is Oyster. I've never subscribed to Oyster other than on a free trial basis. Their ebook selection is probably comparable to Scribd, but I don't believe they offer any audiobooks. Thus, I find Scribd to be a better deal since I also enjoy listening to audiobooks.

I believe Scribd offers a 30-day free trial, so you can check them out and see if they have the type of ebooks and audiobooks you like.

Enjoy!

Very good. Thanks for taking the time to write.

Yeah, it had been before November of last year that I had last taken a look at Scribd. "Oyster"--how could I forget a name like that!(ha) If Oyster hasn't already started to offer audiobooks, I'm sure that they will in order to stay competitive with Scribd. Otherwise they'll end up in the dustbin of history.

Being the model of efficiency that he is, tubemonkey already has some information on Scribd on the OP (Opening Post). I should have known. ha
