I did buy a Nook audiobook at one point and have yet to listen to it; once I'm done I'll never revisit the app. Kobo and Google are apps too far. I don't care how good the apps are nor how appealing the come-on; I just can't be bothered any more.

For Downpour, eStories, Tantor, Overdrive, and ChristianAudio I just D/L through my PC. I have Audiobooks.com and Kobo on my tablet, but I use it only to D/L the books and transfer them to my computer. The only apps I use on my not-phone/portable device is Audible and Smart Audiobook Player (for everything else).
I suppose that since Google Books is already on my device I may use it if I see a freebie I like, but as for purchasing? No thank you.
