If you're considering buying non-WS audiobooks at credit prices, check out Downpour before going with Audible. Downpour only charges $12.99 per credit and lets you buy additional credits whenever you want. Books are DRM-Free MP3/M4B. Unfortunately, Audible has 5x as many titles as Downpour.
As to trial memberships, always try for them. You never know when you'll get lucky. I've had somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 trial memberships, even though the terms clearly state "new members only".
Glad you have another option for library books. A couple of my libraries have OneClick, but I don't use it. OverDrive is far superior and I have access to multiple OD libraries.

Thanks. Tons of helpful information there.
Audible may have 5x as many titles, but I checked and Downpour does have the book that I want, and at 1 credit. I feel like I have a viable option now.
The book that I want is a Modern Scholar course. They are expensive relative to the superior-quality (IMHO) The Great Courses. And it's much harder to find markdowns on them.
I did some research between your previous post and your post above. Found out that OneClickDigital is a Recorded Books company or at least department. Modern Scholar is a Recorded Books series. One thing that I liked about OCD's selection at my library is that it had tons of Modern Scholar titles. Wouldn't you know that none of them are the one that I wanted.
Yes, I agree that OverDrive is superior, but OCD has a lot of nice titles that aren't available from OverDrive, at least through my library. I guess that's why the powers that be at that library decided to add OCD.
