I don't care about credits and I don't need to own audiobooks, just listen to them. If I really liked a book I listened to, I'd just get the ebook. Also, the Plus catalog has more than enough buffet for me to sample, I'd never get to it all. $1.99 is a super-sweet deal and I'm not getting off unless Audible throws me off.
The only time I get Audible memberships is when I get a free month or two. I use the credit(s) for a series I'm collecting at the moment or anthologies. The short stories are great in a doctor's office or anywhere else I have to wait.

Aud Plus, KU and Scribd hold no interest for me, because I use public libraries to get most of my listening material. I'm lucky to belong to several libraries with very large OverDrive collections and rarely use them for specific books. Instead, I just browse the "available now" catalog until I find something interesting; and there's always something interesting.
