I am lucky to get FLP for free. BPL has tons more audio books than FLP. I have to pay for BPL but it's a better value than these subscription services, as they are now.

I only signed up to test its functionality with Echo. Never intended to keep it. |

My home library is using Axis 360 for new material, which I dislike, but in any case they haven't been doing too well adding audiobooks either. I've never requested a book--if I really want something I buy it--but I do like to browse and see if something catches my eye or fits my mood. And the pickings have been slim. While I'm ranting a bit about libraries, I wish they would let one search across all their audiobook catalogs at once, instead of separate searches at Overdrive, Axis 360, One-Click, or whatever. I don't care where they got the title from, I just want to know if I can borrow it! |

But, this is a per library search. I don't know of a way to do this if you are a member of several libraries. S |

I listened to 2 audio books. I couldn't get them from Scribd or my libraries, so I was glad of the opportunity. However, I have cancelled Tune In (though my free trial is still good for the remainder of the month). I don't like their web interface, or the app itself. I don't like that I have to keep my device connected to stream the audio book. And I don't like the blip of another book inserting itself between every chapter break.
