Thanks for pointing that out! I have Amazon prime but I had no idea it came with that. I might have to check audible out now.SparklingOne wrote:Nice review but wanted to let you know that there are a few other ways to enjoy Audible. With an Amazon Prime account you can get a free Audible book credit each month. I usually try to pair my free credit with whatever Kindle book I am reading that month. This allows me to listen only (in the car), read only, or enjoy immersion reading (which I think is a pretty cool experience) depending on your mood. I have to agree that I probably wouldn't use the Audible service on its own very much. When you consider these extra options, it might make that Audible account a little more attractive.

Yeah, some just don't care for looking at text on a page and prefer a skilful narrator who can do both the prose and dialogue to a reasonable standard. I used to love listening to unabridged books but it feels like a lifetime ago.Rachaelamb1 wrote:Nice review. I've never heard of audible and definitely prefer reading a book myself but my husband would much rather listen to a book than read so I may check it out. Thanks for the review.

Excellent review.

I'll also say that YouTube has a plethora of audiobooks - most of which are in the public domain (100 years, I believe?). Regardless, I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys old classics - sometimes hearing someone else reading gives you a different perspective on the book...I know it has for me.
