Thanks both of you!
fantasyfan, I've never done the listening/reading combo though I've been meaning to try it out for awhile.
Bookworm_Girl, with having been somewhat new to audiobooks it hasn't been so easy for me to recognise the better narrators or publishers by name so I hadn't thought of that, though now that I am getting the hang of things after a few years of listening I'm going to keep that in mind. As for the samples, I often listened to
every (well, every unabridged English-language) sample of a non-copyright audible title which can be quite exhausting, heh. Sometimes that would equal 20, 30, even 40 or more! Then even after I chose I sometimes wasn't sure if I'd made the better decision for my listening enjoyment. I just found it all a hassle that I could do without by mostly listening to copyright audiobooks.
