Hi Dr D, Audible Plus is a
streaming only service with access to a limited subset of the Audible catalog. That particular title you linked to is not available on the Plus subscription - it must be purchased for the price shown or with a credit if you are an Audible
PREMIUM Plus customer. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in my earlier posts, Audible has a very confusing system of categories of customer.
When you are browsing the Audible site, you can filter the results by clicking in the box in the left hand menu "Access - Plus Catalog". On any specific title detail, if you don't see the tag "Included", then it's not. You'll only see purchase options. By being a Plus customer, you do get the "member discount" on the purchase price though, so that may be a worthwhile benefit for you?
As a sidenote, I found that audiobook is available on Scribd.com (another of my favorite websites) here
https://www.scribd.com/audiobook/288...er-in-Darkness
Although this is also a "streaming only" service, you CAN download audio and ebooks from Scribd to their app (Android or iPhone) for listening/reading offline. Scribd access is worldwide. Cost is $10/month, or $100 as an annual gift subscription. Included perks are free subscriptions to Pandora Plus, MUBI and Curiosity Stream; this makes it a great deal for me.
Obviously, this needs a computer, tablet or phone. Oasis will not work for Scribd. Hope that is helpful?

When I 'Select with Membership', I am brought to a screen to purchase the item and 'Start Now' - presumably after paying $7.00.
Perhaps I have misunderstood something...I'm new to the 'Audible Game', and much prefer reading than listening. (However, I will sometimes listen to a book being read.)
NOTE: I, too, was billed for the $1.95 per month. I'm using my Oasis (2019). |
