I had thought of changing Audible to Listener Light after my temporary hold expires and keeping Downpour, but now I think I'd be better off just dropping Downpour. Maybe I'll upgrade my Audible membership instead of downgrading it!

It's a shame, really. I'd love to give Downpour more of my business, as the credits are cheaper and there's no DRM. I'd also like to help keep another player in the game.

Downpour is doing a pretty good job of shooting themselves in the foot. They have several things in their favor - DRM-free content, lower credit pricing, and the ability to purchase additional credits on demand. Working against them is a catalog only 1/5 the size of Audible's and too many 2-credit books. I fear the negatives will weigh more against them than the positives. Such a shame.
