Scibd adds Audiobooks - will you Join?

I got hungry thinking about pumpkin pie, so I just made some pumpkin bread. Delish!

I just learned to make home made apple pies. So good and so easy! I use frozen crust, though.

Country Crock mashed potatoes sounds good. I will check on those, and the price for that turkey breast. Thanks for the ideas!

My Radiant phone will be here tomorrow! Can't wait to try out Scribd audio books on it! I have beefed up my library with a lot of audio selections. If it works out, the price of Scribd will be well worth it just for the audio books. (Even using the older app version, the text for their ebooks is too light, for my taste. Even the Kindle app text is darker!)

I will definitely report here on all aspects of using Scribd audio books on this non-contract Android phone.

There is a new one in our area. We went and checked it out. A lot of unknown brands. And the clouds of fruit flies was a bit off-putting. We haven't been back.

My Radiant phone arrived. I am now listening to a Scribd audio book downloaded to the phone. Wifi is off. So far, so good! (SO much bigger than a Sansa Clip Zip )

I thought this was a food thread

Who makes it and are you using it as a phone too? When I get my no-contract phone in two weeks, it'll only be used as a media player.

Food? Can it be listened to?

This is an AT&T Radiant go phone. It runs android 4.1.2. It is not being used as a phone, though I could put my Sim card in if I decide to.

I have a concern with the Scribd app! When it gets to the end of a chapter, it stops! I have to wake up the phone and touch the screen. Then it will start the next chapter.

But if I am not on the app screen again, it starts at the beginning! Has anyone had this happen? Anyone know of a setting to change this?

OK, I found one setting to change, the audio jump speed. Maybe that will do it.

ETA No. If the phone is asleep and the chapter ends, it doesn't start the next chapter. Is this Scribd, or my phone/player?

Best to Contact Scribd support and let them know.

Net10 is $50 ($55 with fees a month) Straight Talk is $45 ($50 with fees)

So it evens out either way.

Are you using it as a phone? a media player? or both?

I'm going to use it as both. My phone I loaned to my husband for only a few days and he returned it with scratched all over the screen and the finish peeling. The man is evil on devices!

Gotcha. Whatever I get will be used strictly as a media player; and mostly an audio player. My preference is a 3.5" display, but I don't like the specs (RAM and storage) on those phones; so I'll end up with something larger.

My hubby, son, my dad and myself just switched to them. So far happy with the service, and the price. I haven't tried to use my phone as an audio book player, but I know my son has music on his.
I know what you mean about scratches. I got the Otter box for mine so it stays pristine. I can't stand when my shiny toys get scratched!!

My toys never get scratched up so I don't need protection. My Vortex which I got years ago is still in perfect condition. His looks like someone chewed on it. I had the Optimus Dynamic since March and it looked new till I loaned it to him.
