Audible users? Is it good?

I have audible and download from the library. I transfer to my ipod and plug into my cars audio system. My car doesn't get along with my phone. I have the audible $14.95 for 1 credit per month plan. Honestly I don't have any issues with either format. But with the library, you most likely will have to be on a wait list and they don't have as many choices. And not usually the newer books. So I use audible for those just released books from favorite authors. I usually have at least 5 or six books on hold at the library at any given time.

I don't use audible but download audio books from my library via Overdrive because it's free I mostly listen at home with my iPad.

I use it. I have found listening to audiobooks during my commute makes me much less road ragey.

Anyway, I do think it's a bit pricey, but part of the value of the membership is that you also get access to their sales. I have bought quite a few of the deal of the days (usually $2-5) and other sales (like two books for one credit).

I recently suspended my membership bc I had more books than I could get through and about 5 or 6 credits saved up. It's a nice feature that still gives me access to some of the sales without the monthly fee and credit. My suspension is up this month, and I'm due for some new books, so it worked out well. I think the max suspension was 3 months and I don't know how often you can do it.

I haven't tried any other source for digital audio books. I have picked up cheap cd's and hate dealing with that, so I'll stick to Audible.

If you have Amazon Prime you can sign up for a 3 month free trial Audible membership. So you get to download 1 book per month as I understand it. Someone suggested to listen to a sample of the book before downloading to see if you like listening to the narrator.

I downloaded After You by JoJo Moyes and just started it today. 

This is just for the first three months. I have Prime and paid $14.95 a month. I was going to cancel and they offered me three months at half price so I stayed on. 

Well shit

I'll be cancelling now.

I use both.
I have had an Audible membership for over 3 years and I also use two different audiobooks libraries.

However I'm not sire what aspect you are interested in knowing about.
One is a paid service and one is free. Not all books are eligible to be library books, so if you like certain books/authors/genres and they aren't eligible to be in the library, then the only other option will be to pay for them.

A basic Audible monthly subscription is $14.99 and that equals one book. personally I think that's good value, as a new paperback in the shops here is almost twice that much.
I also like listening to new releases and if they are eligible for the library, they can take a while to get there, and then there will probably be a waiting list...I've been number 98 on a waiting list before - so if you really want a book, it may take several months to get.

I listen to about 3-4 books a week, so using a combination of both works well for me. I get my new release fix from Audible and for many of the older books and classics, I use the library.
Both Audible and Overdrive have their own apps.

I see so many people saying they only listen while they commute. Audiobooks don't have to be limited to that. They are easily accessed on your phone and I listen to mine for a good chunk of the day. Getting ready to go somewhere, doing the housework, on my daily walks, while crocheting or doing other crafts.
You really can get a lot more 'reading' done when you multi-task.

I use music for walking to get the beat and keep pace, and I can't seem to pay attention while I'm going in and out of rooms cleaning, etc. And I don't have any hobbies right now that I just sit down. But I can see how that would be a great time to listen.

I am an avid reader and I want to enjoy audible books but it just doesn't work for me. I am a visual person and noise distracts me. I cannot focus on a book being read aloud. My mind wanders. Also my daily commute is less than 5 minutes so I would never finish a book if I listened in the car. I'm jealous of all of you that enjoy listening to books.

I primarily use Audible, but I have has downloaded from the library, too. I listen to audiobooks while on the treadmill. I have a long commute, but that is my NPR time.

Audible is the only way my husband will "read" a book, so it is a common way for us to read and discuss books.

I don't listen while I commute because the bus is too noisy, but I listen at home when I'm doing the housework, relaxing in the evening or scrapbooking at the weekend.
