When I read Audible's terms - 3 books a month? That's it? And 2 of them HAVE to be 'an audible original'?! Um no. The modern pricing model for anything is subscription-based now and my pockets have holes in them or something.
I've been finding more and more audiobook oferings on my various local county library websites. Ebooks too, but not a massive selection.
I also buy a kindle book on sale for $.99 (out of sight out of mind for this reader!) and for $7.49 upgrade to get the Audible. Or find a prior e-book I purchased had that same offer to upgrade - and audio is the only I can get through books at the moment. It works.
Now I'm in the confusion of how to get the audios *out* of audible. I bought them after all! That's what I'm looking up now. Or trying to.  |
I am not longer a subscribing member to Audible but can listen to the books I previously purchased or grabbed fine through my account. The account still exists with available books. I've read a bit on getting them out of the account somehow but that seems complicated. There's a lot of protection on them. I do need to figure out how to back these up just in case.
I am still a member of Scribd and still loving the service. I never ran into some of the issues others have other than my phone being glitchy with offline files, but nothing is perfect and that was not a deal breaker for me.
