Did it happen to say what we "Inactive Listener" MEMBERS (yes, I am shouting) get? I mean besides getting shafted again.

So basically the stuff that’s been free to members anyway?

Yeah, really.

I had already picked up two of them when they were free to preorder--they were of marginal interest, but the other four are of zero interest, so the fact that Audible says I can pick two more isn't exactly a biggie.

Skinmaan, where's the fitness program benefit they're touting--I can't find it:

Here's TM's link to it. I didn't even bother posting because Audible says they will pull it out of your library.

Indeed.

I wasn't expecting anything of value, though; why would they give something away they can charge for, i.e., that people will buy? It had to be a worthless add-on and I'm not interested in free things solely because they're free.

Oh, OK--thanks. I forgot about this and thought there was something new.

Yeah, normally I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth but I find the selection underwhelming. I have 2 of the offerings from earlier in the month and of the remaining 4 I only have a passing interest in maybe one of them.

I think we have the Aaptiv ones for a year so I downloaded them. Even if you aren’t into fitness the meditation and sleep ones have been helpful to me.

I agree on the Audible originals. I already have the ones of most interest. I’m kind of bummed they pulled the channels feature without much warning.
