I was a long time Audible subscriber...from the time when they were offering the Rio 500's for $50 when you signed up for an account. My first book purchase was May 2001. I love the service...and I was "grandfathered" in on one of their original super-good deals. I was able to download two books a month for $14.
I finally cancelled my account in January of this year--Since I've been getting books from the library, my Audible library had steadily been increasing with books I haven't listened to yet. I still have many hours of Audible books that I haven't listened to yet, but am slowly whittling it down. I don't know if I'll ever join again, because although they have good deals now I'm able to download a lot of the books I like to listen to from my local libraries.
