For myself, I average 3-5 books per month from Kobo Plus so it's worth while. When I add in my spouse's 5-6 books per month, it becomes a no-brainer. The other advantage I find to Kobo Plus is that it has one heck of a lot more SF & F by authors I know. For example, I recently picked up Chess with a Dragon by David Gerrold and The Budayeen Cycle by George Alec Effinger while my spouse picked up Written by Christine Pope.
Yes, I know that we don't actually own those ebooks but since there seems to be no limit on the number of Kobo Plus books we can borrow, until we decide KP is no longer a choice for us, we can keep those books in our library for an extended period.
We've both tried audiobooks but neither of us is enthused about listening to audiobooks. I find they are too slow and my spouse finds them hard to go backward or forward in. They often re-read pages in a book and audiobooks are not easily compatible with doing so.
